Most antibiotics do not function like antibacterial liquids. They aren't killing anything directly, they are making your body produce toxins to kill pathogens. Creating an antagonistic chemistry. They're manipulating your renal and immune system. That takes a few days to work, and to stop working.

The liver is often heavily involved in this process, which is why people talk about the " renal load" of antibiotics. Ergo some thought is given to protecting the liver when they are used.
