Hello pharmacists, in general, do antibiotics have the side effect of causing a feeling of great fatigue or is this symptom due to the current infection? Thank you!

It is possible that the administration of antibiotics may be contributing to your fatigue. However, it is more likely that the fatigue is a result of the infection itself. It is difficult to determine the exact cause of your fatigue, but it is likely a combination of both the infection and the antibiotics.
