I work fulltime in Fire/EMS, and have worked in hospitals. This means I am clearly NOT an expert in anything (! we are jacks of all trades, masters of none) but my experience in infections is antibiotics usually take right around 48 hours to begin having a good effect. If your pain was gone the same day or next as taking the antibiotic, that leads me to believe it was related to something else. Just please don't ask me what that something else is!
