Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
If there is no improvement after few days of taking it then another antibiotic should be considered so you should consult cardiologist again. There is no purpose of increasing dosage at this point.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
