Medication question?

Just under a month ago, I was in the hospital due to a kidney infection caused by a UTI, and for PID caused by chlamydia. I was prescribed 500 mg of cephalexin every 6 hours for 13 days, so 52 pills. It’s been 19 days now and I still have 10 pills left because I’ve been sleeping through doses. Should I keep taking it?
