I've been on antibiotics for a little under a week for a kidney infection and i'm spiking a fever. i didn't think i could get a fever while on antibiotics. what should i do?

Need to be checked: Two things to consider. You may have a different infection that the anabiotic does not cover. Otherwise anabiotic's are specific for the germ. Or you may be having a reaction to the antibiotic causing the fever. You need to see your physician to have this clarified.
