Brief Answer:
For how long have you been on antibiotics?

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I will like to know for how long you have been on antibiotics. Antibiotics often need at least 48-72hours to act effectively and control infectious symptoms such as fever.

At this time, I will recommend Tylenol 650mg every 8hours to control your fever. I hope to hear from you on what the exact infection type and diagnosis is so that I can review and provide a personalized and helpful response.

I wish you well.
