Please refrain from drinking or eating anything cold, stop alcohol and smoking. Salt water gargling will help a lot. Antibiotics are of varying strengths and if one does not work it means the bacteria might be resistant to that drug. So, consult ent doctor again n he will give you a more powerful antibiotic or add another one. Throat swab culture and sensitivity test will determine which bacteria is the cause and what drug will b effective. Get well soon.
