How long into a course of antibiotics would you wait before you decided that they weren't working?

I've been on Augmentin for an ear- and sinus infection since last Tuesday. My ears still ache and still seem to be full of fluid. I still feel run down and not my normal self. And I still have what seems to be sinus-related coughing (no deep chest symptoms). I don't feel as bad as I did, and I'm not particularly congested anymore, but I don't feel well.

If I wait out the full ten-day course before deciding to go back to the doctor, it will be the weekend.

As the others have said, three days is when you should start feeling relief from the antibiotic. Time to call the doctor.
