Symptoms should improve within 2 days and entirely gone within 5-10 days. If longer, keep working with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis; rule out other causes; check for complications or factors that make for worse infections (kidney stone, blocked ureter, etc); and perhaps change treatment yet again. Maybe consider consultation (infectious diseases and/or urology); discuss w/ your doctor.

I hope you are under care of a Urologist, if not do so ASAP. In uncomplicated Pyelo. it takes at least 2 weeks to recover. Hope you feel better soon.
