Hello,
3 days is a short time to treat a chest infection.cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the length of time is 1) longer and 2) given on the bottle.
And getting over an infection produces more sleepiness or the infection isn't over and the sleeping is a bad sign. Without an exam, I can only give general information.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
