Hello,

Of course, if breathing and oxygenation get worse you should go to the hospital.
Most probably the antibiotics are not working since you are feeling worse.
Taking corticosteroids orally is advisable also you may use aerosol corticosteroids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
