Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may take at least a few more days for the medication to start working. It can sometimes take up to 3 to 5 days for improvement to be seen.
You need to continue with the medication as prescribed by your doctor.
If there is worsening of your symptoms or no improvement seen in another 2 to 3 days then you can consider revisiting him or her for reassessment.
I hope this helps
