Brief Answer:
Antibiotic needed in that scenario

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns...

Since cough is not responding to these medications and since you developed fever, then I would recommend that take an antibiotic as Co-amoxiclav 1Gm every 12 hours along with your current medications (may need a prescription from your local physician).

*Please note that if you are a resident in an area with reported cases of coronavirus then you should head to the hospital immediately to exclude infection.

I hope you find this helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
