I can understand your concern.
Nothing to worry. Fever will come down over time. Continue your medications as advised by your doctor. With the above symptoms you don't require H1N1 testing.
I recommend the following.
1) Continue the antibiotics and complete the course.
2) Take analgesics like tablet paracetamol for pain relief and fever. Nothing to worry.
3) Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
4) Avoid smoking. If you don't have this habit, kindly ignore this suggestion.
5) Unless symptoms are getting worse and you start getting vomiting, diarrhea the H1N1 test is not required.
You will be fine.
