Still low grade fever while antibiotics is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually yes: It depends where the fever comes from and if it is viral or bacterial or if it is resistant and so on. However, if one is getting better than it is likely that the antibiotic is killing the bad guy. Low grade is usually not a problem. Check with your doc if in doubt.
