Is it possible to pick up an infection while on antibiotics?

Basically just that!

Given ABs as a precaution after sinus operation approx 10 days ago. Have felt really ropey this weekend. Lots of pain in the maxillary sinus, only a little discharge of green gunk (sorry TMI).

Have taken all the ABs and steroids that Consultant gave me.

Just wondered if it was at all possible regarding another infection if I was already taking ABs, or if I am still feeling the effects from the op.
