Some times it use to happen that one will be using antibiotics in order to cure a disease but it will look like there is no improvement at all.

For most common infections , antibiotics begin to bring improvement in a day or two. If the antibiotic you are using dies not bring any improvement, it is possible that:

(1) The illness is but what you think. You may be using the wrong medicine. Try to find out more exactly what the illness is and use the the right medicine.

(2) The dose of the antibiotic is not correct. Check it.

(3) The bacteria have become resistant to the antibiotic being used ( they no longer are harmed by it). Try another one of the antibiotics recommended for that illness.

(4) You may not know enough to cure the illness . Get medical help, especially if the condition is serious or getting worse.

Your idea is welcome.
