Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
thanks for sending the question.

It is still relatively early to conclude that the antibiotic is not helping. At this point I would recommend aggressive supportive measures including good fluid hydration and nutrition. Make sure you're getting plenty of rest as well.

I would check in with your doctor tomorrow to see if any additional recommendations are suggested. Again at this point it is still relatively early and it may takeA few more days for this particular illness to respond to the therapy prescribed by your doctor.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
