If not better...: One can see the doctor again. Not getting better after antibiotic treatment can mean the symptoms are not caused by bacteria, or that bacteria are still causing symptoms because and needs a different antibiotic (or a bigger dose) for a larger number of days, or some other reason. If not improved after additional treatment, an Ear-Nose-Throat specialist can evaluate.
