A member asked:
Should fever persist after two days on cipro?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on cause: It depends on why Ciprofloxacin was prescribed and what the fever is like-a persistent high, shaking fever is more worrisome than a few low grade temps within 1st 48 hrs.In general, one's response to antibiotic depends on the nature of the infection (location, severity), age, general health, other factors.If not working, there may be bacterial resistance or a virus.If not better, best to call your pcp.

Yes, possibly: Two days would be the normal time for the antibiotic to "kick in" and reduce the fever. It is possible that it will take a bit longer, and there is the possibility that it is the inappropriate medication, and as such the fever will continue.
