Being sick = gaining weight?

Question: Does being sick and taking antibiotics make you gain weight? Ive been doing tracking food for two weeks, have been on target every day and still havent lost weight. Cant exercise because im so exhausted (and cant breathe) but I have been working my *kitten* off at the firehouse. Starting to get a little pissed off =/

Yes, antibiotics can cause weight gain. Google it, and there are numerous articles. I'm going through this myself and getting annoyed, even though I know that the antibiotics and steroids I'm on for a sinus infection are the cause. Patience, I keep telling myself...
