Brief Answer:
The antibiotic you are taking isn't working.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should visit the doctor again.
I think you are having a resistant bladder infection count that the antibiotic you are taking for three days isn't working.
You may need to do an uroculture to find the right antibiotic which can work on this infection.
Meanwhile take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and chills. Have cranberry juice or tea to flush the bacteria out.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
