If I Get A Fever, At What Number Should I Consider Taking Penicillin?

Hi. I am 63 years old. About two years ago I had my spleen removed because my body was fighting against itself. If I get a fever, at what number should I consider taking penicillin? My doctor said if it kept going up I should start the pills, but I m not sure how high I should let my temperature go. Thanks.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There is no any exact number for taking peniciillin. Its not like that. You have weak immune system against some capsulated organism. So whenever you got infection you should consult your physician and take antibiotics according to need ant type of infection.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
