A member asked:
My 6 year old was treated for strep and ear infection on friday, feb 22 with amoxicillin. on feb 27, he had 103 degree fever. again now too. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible misdiagnose: Did he have a throat culture to diagnose strep? If not, he may have been misdiagnosed and has a viral infection, in which case the anti biotic wont work.
