Can Antibiotic Cure Ear Infection And Fever?
My baby (15 months) has a 103.5 fever with very cold feet...she was diagnosed with an ear infection and is on antibiotics (24 hrs now). Her body is very hot but her feet are very cold....anything I should be wary of? How long does it take for antibiotics to kick in?

Hello madam, sorry for your baby.As temperature is very high, give lukewarm sponzing repeatedly. Don't wrap the baby in thick rugs. The given antibiotics should reach a level where it can fight against organisms. To reach that level it needs minimum 3 days.you can properly judge whether the temperature has reduced or not by feeling baby's tummy.so don't take tension. Give baby lots of fuids and diluted fruit juices. Baby will be fine. Take care. Any further doubts you can mail back to me
