Pediatrician,  's  Response
Surely there is need for concern. The child needs to be re-evaluated by a physician especially a pediatrician. Either it is a viral infection or less likely a bacterial infection not responding to the antibiotics administered. Only the doctor will be able to make the distinction and give appropriate treatment.
