Don't panic: Use the zmax for 2 more days--if still feverish may need to switch to a different antibiotic--it sometimes takes 72-96hrs of treatment to show improvement.

Call md in morn: Persistence of fever over 48 hours after the initiation of antibiotics suggests bacterial resistance. Z pack (azithromycin) is not a good choice for ear infection in infant.
