How Can Fever Along With Cough And Sore Throat Be Treated?
My daughter has been having fever since thursday. At times around 104 took to doctor and she tested negative for flu. She is coughing very hard and will not stop fever. He said ears were infected and throat was looking bad so gave her antibiotic. Her fever will not go down much even with ibuprofen. should I get her looked at again?

Hi and welcome to HCM!
Thanks for your questions.
Your history has been noted. If fever persists then it indicates unresolved infection. Your daughter definitely needs to be reviewed and also get routine blood and urine tests done as well as culture of throat swab or ear discaharge, if any, to guide for appropriate antibiotics.
Hope this helps.
Take care
