Hi and welcome

Please continue with the nebulisation (if that helps without the antibiotics and just a mild disinfectant, like saline solution, which you can make at home) or consider a humidifier in the piggy room for the long term.

See your vet again and see whether your guinea pig may need a different antibiotic (we have started seeing more cases of resistancy in respiratory bacteria due to widespread overuse of antibiotics in recent years) or whether you are dealing with a sensitivity to the environment; this can often include hay dust but also air fresheners and other strongly perfumed/scented products, very dry air from air conditioning or heating units or smoke. True allergies are very rare in guinea pigs but some sensitivities, like the one to their main food source, hay dust, are not uncommon.
Irritants to Avoid Around Guinea Pigs

It always gets difficult once the important first approach, treating for a potentially killing or long term harming URI, is not working because all other possible avenues can only be worked out by trial and error.

PS: To make saline solution at home: Boil 250 ml or 1 pint of water, let cool and stir in 1 teaspoon of water. It is a mild antiseptic that can be used for inhalation, wound cleaning/disinfection, abscess flushing etc. and comes in very handy in any emergency. You can also buy sterile saline in any pharmacy or use other comparable products recommended by your vet.

Actually neubilization with baytril injection( for inhalation) is helping.is it okay to give antibiotic inhalation more than 9 days.
 
My Susie suffered from respiratory issues and I nebuilised her once a day with diluted f10 antiseptic. I began at 5 mins per session, slowly increasing at 2 mins more each week until I got to 20 mins per session. Her symptoms totally improved with this.

Please give your treating vet a call if in any doubt. Antibiotics can be used for longer but there needs to be the consideration whether they just help to depress symptoms but do not heal and in the long term wil contribute to creating resistance issues.
We cannot advise you on using medication that is prescription-only in the UK on your own for legal reasons.

Maybe you want to rather consider switching to using a mild antiseptic like saline, F10 or hibiscrub for nebulising for the longer term because you can continue with that without the concerns that come with inhaling an antibiotic for a long time.
