My 9 month old baby has occasional high fever. she is very restless, cries a lot and doesn't want to eat. she seems to want to sleep a lot too. we went to the hospital 3 days ago and they gave her antibiotics but it doesn't seem to help.

Missing info: What are they treating? Antibiotics do nothing for viral illnesses and if bacterial the antibiotic may be a wrong choice. If the kid is taking enough fluids/nutrition to be alert/play & pee at least every 6 hrs you may need more time. If not, have her re-evaluated.
