A member asked:

Baby had fluctuating fever. docs says a throat infection and treated with rocephin (ceftriaxone) for 3 days. baby is teething and still has fever and doesn't eat.

Drinking enough?: It sounds like your baby should be seen by the doctor again. If the baby is not eating or drinking, there is a risk of dehydration. The fluctuating fevers may be a sign of an infection that the Rocephin (ceftriaxone) did not treat and should be rechecked.

Fever: Fever not due to teething. Prob ably viral infection. Concern is possible dehydration as is not eating. Please contact your b baby's doctor again for reevaluation. Please also have your child see a Dentist, preferably a Pediatric Dental Specialist (Pedodontist).
