After finishing the antibiotic Levoflox for a cold, cough, and fever (where a blood test previously showed slightly high white blood cells), is it normal to still feel weak, sweaty, and warm despite having a normal temperature of 98.6?F, how long does this recovery usually take, and what can I do to improve my condition?
It is very common to feel weak, sweaty, and warm even after finishing your antibiotic, levofloxacin (Levoflox), and having a normal temperature. Your body is recovering from the strain of fighting the infection. This recovery phase, often called post-infectious fatigue, typically lasts one to two weeks. To help your body regain strength, focus on getting plenty of rest, staying well-hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich fluids, and eating light, nutritious meals. Avoid overexertion right now. If your symptoms worsen, or if you do not feel better after a week, please reach out to your doctor for a follow-up.
