Should Strenuous Activity Be Stopped While On Antibiotics After Root Canal?

my son is 12, he just had a root canal procedure done on monday. He went to Hockey practice. He had an infection and was prescribed 2 types of anti^biotics for 3 days and 7 days.
He wants to attend his Hockey game tomorrow on Saturday, which will be only 5 days after infection started.
his infection has subsided, but there is still some swelling. He says he feels fine, but should he attend his hockey game? Should strenuous activity be avoided and for how long?

Better to avoid any strenuous activity especially when there is still signs of infection. Do consume plenty of fluids to keep the body replenished when on antibiotic medication.
