Can Blood Infection Make One Groggy And Weak?

Thankyou,,,,,my 50 year old daughter has a blood infection and received antibiotics in the emergency ward for two days and was sent home for total bed rest and a prescription for strong antibiotics. She is very weak and sleeps all the time and is extremely groggy, Is this normal? She has been home from the hospital for three days and says the swelling has gone down in her leg but she is still in a lot of pain.

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your treating doctor I advice you that it is normal to have such a scenario when your blood had infected. We called it as septicemia. Give some time and regular antibiotics to her to get recover. She will be better in some times. If she is in much pain you should think of tramadol tablet with due consultation under your nearby doctor.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
