How Soon After Taking Antibiotics Can Normal Exercise Routine Be Started?

I am taking a short course of antibiotics for a lingering sore throat/cold. I am on day 3 of taking medication. Yesterday I found all symptoms improving, today I find that glands in my neck have become sore, that weren t before. (The glands around my jawline were sore before). Can symptoms either change/or move around before they get better with antibiotics? Also, how soon after taking antibiotics would it be safe to start normal exercise routine?

Hi
Thank you for posting your query in HCM.
My opinion is that you dont have to postpone your regular exercises when you are taking antibiotics, unless feel sick. Swellings around neck will come down slowly. I would suggest you to do salt water gargling twice a day , This would help to soothen the sore throat. Symptoms will get better with antibiotics.
Hope i have answered your questions, if you have further questions i will be happy to help you.
