Hello,
With the help of antibiotic, gradual progress in symptoms recovery is noted over a period of 3-4 days, if beyond that the symptomatic intensity as similar, you must consult your doctor. He or she may need to add steroid with bronchi dilator as theophylline or aminophylline in the current drug basket.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
