Carrollee,
If you are sick enough to be prescribed antibiotics and you are hungry, you should eat. This is not a good time to try to restrict food intake -- your body needs nutrition. (Actually, in general on low carbing, if you feel hungry you should eat. Once all the excess carbs are gone from your system, your body should do a good job of informing you how much food you need.)
Could it be your recovery from your illness that is making you so hungry? I was sick last week and my doctor gave me antibiotics. The day I started to feel better, I was ravenous because I hadn't been eating enough all week because of the illness. Now I'm back to my usual portions. I don't think it was the antibiotics that made me hungry -- it was the recovery from my illness.
