Consider all factors: Did you alter your diet while the infection was in full bloom? Did the antibiotics affect your GI tract? Infections can tax a persons strength/energy/etc. Focus on a proper diet for another week, or so. Then re-evaluate. If still no improvement, see your dentist/physician for followup.
