Hi,

I understand your concern.

Now I guess you have to change antibiotic because with appropriate antibiotic therapy on injectable or Ofloxacin(Ciprofloxacin) orally,because there is usually improvement within one to two days and recovery within seven to 10 days.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your son speedy recovery and good health.
