Hello,

It is unlikely that the AKT is causing the increase in temperature. It is possible that the patient has another infection as well. I would suggest he / she keeps track of the temperature and other symptoms like cough, cold, vomiting, burning while urinating, etc. Take paracetamol for the fever. The antibiotics as part of AKT should take care of the infection too.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
