Notify: Given worsening symptoms and muscle aches likely your have some type flu bug. Barking cough is typically more of a sign of virus. Given recent problems with COVID your worsening symptoms should be double checked.

Recheck by your doc: Please call your doctor for further advice. If you have a viral illness, it is not surprising that you are not better with an antibiotic. However, if you have shortness of breath, you should be re-examined by your doctor to be sure you don't have an infection in your chest, such as pneumonia. Covid-19 could also have these symptoms, so it is important to follow-up, especially if you are worsening.
