Hello,

During infectious phase tiredness is usually because of multiple things like:
1. It might be a symptom of the disease
2. It might be due to increased nutritious demand that body needs during infection
3. Some of the medicines too can lead to tiredness during illnesses
4. Dehydration can also cause tiredness
All you need to do is rest, keep yourself hydrated, do proper course of your antibiotics and eat nutritious and healthy food. You will recover sooner.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
