My hubby has been on antibiotics for 6days and still has a fever of 101.3. what could it be from? should i take him back to the hospital?

Fever: You don't say what the antibiotics were for but many times patients have a virus infection that antibiotics will not cure. A cold virus can give you a low grade fever for several days even with medicine. If the diagnosis was something else, it is possible that the infection is resistant to the antibiotics and different medicine may help. Should follow with doctor as recommended.
