Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

I think your baby should be further investigated for the cause of fever.
A through examination may give some clues to the cause of fever.
Further investigations including cbc, CRP, blood for culture, may be required.

In the treatment of baby with fever (less than 1 year old) oral antibiotics may not be sufficient. (without arriving at a proper diagnosis)
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
