A member asked:
How long does it take for a slight fever from an ear infection to go away after starting treatment? ive been taking antibiotics for 8 days of my 10 day treatment and still have a fever of 99.3.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably no fever: Everybody's temperature reaches 99.3 once in a while; it's normal.(98.6 is not the maximum body temperature. It's the average; over the day temperature normally varies from 97.0 or even less to 99.5 or even higher.
