Fever, Cough, Chest Congestion, Fever, Wheezing Sound During Breathing. No Help With Antibiotics. What Is The Cause?

I have been sick for the last month or so...was running a fever, coughing, sneezing, and severely congested. I went to the ER and was told I had sinusitus and was given Amoxicillin and have been taking 2000mg a day for 8 days now. I saw some improvement for the first few days but now chest congestion and coughing is worse, running a fever, and wheezing sound down in my chest when I breathe. How am I running a fever when I have been on antibiotics all this time and what could be the cause or what is wrong with me?

yOU SEEM TO BE HAVING ASTHMATIC BRONCHITIS. CONTINUED FEVER MAY BE BECAUSE OF SUPERADDED INFECTION WHICH WAS NOT CONTROLLED WITH AMOXYCILLIN AS THE ORGANISMS INVOLVED MAY BE RESISTANT TO IT. YOU MAY TAKE A DIFFERENT ANTIBIOTIC LIKE AZITHRAL OR LEVOFLOX, TAKE NEBULIZATION WITH DUOLIN AND BUDECORT AND TAKE INHALERS LIKE AEROCORT 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY. YOU SHOULD CONSULT A PULMONOLOGIST OR YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR OPTIMIZATION OF YOUR TREATMENT.
