The symptoms are more likely due to side effects of Cephalexin. Common side effects include fatigue, tiredness, and nausea. If the side effects are too extreme to function, you could see if the doc can switch you to a different antibiotic.

It's very likely that the oral antibiotic is making you tired; your body is also fighting infection. Let your doc know, you should be seeing him soon, anyway; may need to change antibiotics.
Does the incision site seem to be healing. Nausea can be that your stomach and the Cephalexin don't 'agree.'
