A member asked:
What should i do after providing antibiotics to my 9-month-old son if his temperature is still high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Notify the MD: If your child was prescribed antibiotics for an infection and the associated fever does not resolve within 2-3 days, you should notify the prescribing doctor. This could be an indication that a different antibiotic is needed, the condition is worsening, or antibiotics may not be the answer to this particular problem.
