How Long Cefrin Take To Show Improvement For Upper Respiratory Infection?

I was prescribed Cefrin for an upper respiratory infection. How long after starting medicine should I see an improvement? It has been almost 4 days and I am getting worse. I have had a fever of at least 101.5 or higher without breaking, even while taking tylenol. Should I go back to my doctor?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have been prescribed antibiotic for your upper respiratory tract infection

If no improvement than further work up needed like chest x ray to look for any consolidation if present

If needed spirometry also done to assess severity like in bronchitis and guiding further treatment

Sputum examination done along with culture if needed to choose proper medication

Take care

Consult pulmonologoist for examination again and accordingly if needed above discussed investigation can be done

Hope your concern solved
