A member asked:

Should my baby still get a fever after a day on antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: It depends upon what the baby is being treated for and whether the treatment is empirical or directed against a known organism. Even if the antibiotic is appropriate it may take a day or two for all symptoms to be ameliorated. If it is not the right choice of treatment then persistence of fever is not unexpected.
