Urinary Tract Infection and Fasting

Question

I had a urinary tract infection and started taking antibiotics on Rosh HaShanah eve. Now on tzom Gedalia I feel fine. Should I continue talking pills today and should I drink.?

Answer

Thank you for your question.

 You should not fast today (Tzom Gedalia).

Wishing you a refuah sheleimah.
