Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms may need up to a week to go away.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand your concern.

After starting the treatment of antibiotics the symptoms generally improve in two days.

They may need at least a week to go away completely.

So, I recommend continuing the cycle of antibiotics.

I also recommend using medications such as Buscopan 10 mg to relieve the pain.

I suggest you drink a lot of liquids and especially cranberry juice.

The symptoms should improve in a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
