Hello,
With the little white spots and pain, I also would think some kind of infection, for which antibiotics would be appropriate.
However, it will normally take longer than a day to see improvement, I would give it at least 2-3 days to see if it is having an effect before considering that the antibiotics are not working.
If after 3 days there is no improvement, I would go back to your doctor for a reevaluation and probably to change the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
