[|Human|] It has been just 24 hours now since I started taking antibiotics for an infection after having root canal done on a tooth that was infected, how much better should I be feeling. I am still tired and have no energy although pain seems to be subsiding a bit
[|AI|]  Hello, Antibiotics can take 24-48 hours to become effective. You also may feel some discomfort from the dental procedure. Include taking an anti-inflammatory medication to reduce discomfort. Tylenol or Advil are common anti-inflammatory medications. Systemic effects should continue to decrease since the reduction in pain indicates control of the infection. Consult your dentist if any symptoms worsen. Take medication as directed, stay well HY Chat Doctor.  Make sure you have proper nutrition with balanced vitamins especially vitamin B12. Thank you for your inquiry.
