HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It can take a few weeks for the medication to take an effect and also for your appetite to return.
The antibiotics may also contribute to the nausea as well so this may be a factor.

Your may need to supplement with vitamins to help promote your appetite and may need to consider a high calorie diet to prevent weight loss and other nutritional problems.

I hope this helps
