Possible pneumonia: The antibiotic may not be effective in treating the infection, please obtain a chest image and a follow up appointment with your physician. Influenza and COVID 19 should be ruled out. Another culture of the throat and respiratory secretions is indicated. Your physician will discuss the medication and any changes in treatment. I would suggest adding another antibiotic and testing.
