Dr. Florence Nwofor answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Now will be a good: time. Your son has been on antibiotics for more than 48 hours and appears to be getting worse. His doctor will likely want to re assess his plan of care. Continue the recommended care though until he is seen for follow up.
