2 weeks on antibiotics ?!
Question: 2 weeks on antibiotics .?
Hi, I was on antibiotics for 2 weeks. First on amoxil and then on z-pack for sinus infection. After doing blood work doctor said its viral and will go away by itself!!!!
Now after a week, i am starting to feal so weak.
Literally its hard for me to do any activity, I have my appetite.
BTW I am kind of under weight. 5'8 and weight 118 pounds.
This was my first time on antibiotics. Can it be the cause of weakness!

Answers:
Well It could be side affects from the Zithromax that you were taking.
Zithromax is supposed to be prescribed as a short-term antibiotic. I find it strange that your doctor would have put you on it for that long.
Side affects can include:
Trouble sleeping, headache, and cold-like symptoms.
Some people experience nausea and upset stomachs as well.
I'm not a doctor, and I only know this because I took it before, but it might be why you feel the way you do. Health Question & Answer

Yes it is very possible that you feel weak because more than 7-9 days of Antibiotics, cleans your guts of every probiotics (the good germs that help you assimilate vitamins from food).
Eat a lot of yogurt, or there are probiotic pills that regeberate the good bacteria in your guts, I don't know if they are prescription or Over the counter.Health Question & Answer

Your fine. Eat some yogurt made with whole milk to replace the normal flora killed off by the antibiotics and wait for the virus to run it's course.
