When you have an infection, you should plan on feeling pretty bad for three to four days. After that, the antibiotic should have killed enough of the bacteria so that you will start feeling back to normal - you should keep taking the antibiotic so that all of the bacteria are killed and not just part of them. If you do not feel markedly better by Day 4, you should call your doctor and see if you need another antibiotic.
