Once you have started the antibiotics, you can expect to see a difference in the infection after 2-3 days. Be sure to finish the course of the antibiotics, even if you start to feel better. This will ensure the infection is taken care of for good!
The effectiveness of antibiotics on an infection should be seen in a day or two. It depends on the severity of the infection.

Hello
Sometimes it takes 24 hours and sometimes you may need a stronger different antibiotic if the first one is ineffective
Great question!
Thank you
It takes 24-26 hours for an antibiotic to reach full therapeutic dosage in the bloodstream.
