If you have waited three weeks to take the antibiotic, you have reduced the chance that it will work for you, but there is still a good chance that it will work, so don't delay any longer.

Under FMLA, an employee can take time off to care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition. The U.S. Department of Labor defines immediate family member (for FMLA purposes) as a son, daughter, spouse, or parent. Domestic partners are not spouses or relatives under the FMLA.
The FMLA does not permit employees to take leave to care for a domestic partner with a serious health condition. If John and Mary had been living together for 25 years, and Mary needed round-the-clock care because she had cancer, John would not be entitled to FMLA leave.
