I'm sick, my supply has dropped, will it come back?

The subject pretty much sums it up. I have Strep Throat and my supply is way down, as a reference point I pump once at night while my son is sleeping and I normally get 4oz, the past town nights I've only gotten 1oz.  I am drinking as much fluids as possible, even more than I normally drink. Will my supply come back when I start feeling better?

    LC told me that it's the number of days you were sick, doubled.  So last week I was sick for two days so it should have been 4 days before my supply was back.  Sort of held true for me.

    I've been sick and my supply has been up and down. Just keep drinking as much water as possible and try not to stress about it.
