You will need 2 use: a back up for the first 9 days of your new pack of pills, since during the first 2 days you may not absorb them properly or the antibiotic may interfere with the function of the contraception.

You are protected: There has never been definitive proof that antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptive. (there may be disagreement with me) I assume you will be on antibiotic for another 5 days. Start your next pack of oral contraceptive as you normally would and you will have the normal protection from pregnancy as expected.
