Hello and thank you for your question.
It can take longer than two days for the antibiotics to work. If you feel that you are getting worse instead of better, if you have high fevers or if you have a severe headache then you should see a doctor again. if you feel that you are getting somewhat better then continue the antibiotics, drink plenty of water and give it a few more days. It may take 7-10 days for you to feel completely better

Dr. Robinson
