A member asked:

My daughter is 10 months and she been on antibiotics for 3 days and she's running a 102 fever. should we go to er?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is she acting OK?: It can take a few days for the fever to go on once treatment is started for the infection. Fever is not her enemy, it is just a symptom. The body will actually fight the infection better with her running a temperature. Make sure you give her lots of fluids, dress down so she doesn't overheat from that. If fever still present 3-4 days after start of meds, see doc again - it may be a resistant germ.
