Brief Answer:
Antibiotics needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

I would consider it better for you to be started on antibiotics. The symptoms appear to be due to viral infection. Since viral infection reduce the local immunity of respiratory tract, there are high chances of secondary bacterial infections. It is wise to start antibiotics to prevent further worsening of the infection.

Better choice would be a cephalosporin like Cefixime.
