EITHER VIRAL OR RESI: Either you have viral infection which will not respond to antibiotics or you were given antibiotics to the bacteria with restance to the antiiotics.Or you may be on azithromycine which is given for 5 days but stays in the tissues for 10 days, so you have to wait to see full effect.
