retreatment
Another round administered
Retreatment is treatment administered again, typically when an initial course proved insufficient or a condition has recurred.
The term appears most often in medical contexts: The infection returned, requiring retreatment with antibiotics.
Dental work, cancer therapy, and pest control all use retreatment when the first attempt doesn't hold.
