Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of continued viral infection.
There is no need to take any antibiotic now as they are of no use in viral infections.Take steam inhalation twice a day and do warm saline gargles twice a day.Avoid cold drinks and smoking,if any.Hopefully you should be all right in next 7-10 days.
Thanks
