Your condition could have not been treated either due to an insufficient dose of antibiotics, duration or an inappropriate or incomplete diagnosis.
Please visit a respiratory disease specialist, who will rule out/diagnose all possibilities in the lower respiratory tract and then treat you for your apparent upper respiratory tract infection.
A sputum analysis will give us information on which antibiotic will best treat/kill the infection you are suffering from.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.
Best wishes.
