A member asked:
My friend has been abusing antibiotics- on and off for almost 5 months now. whenever she stops taking them now she instantly gets a fever of ~39. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough info: But it sounds like your friend needs to see a doctor. Rebound temperature after stopping antimicrobials should take a day or so, not instantly.
