Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My grandson was seen by pediatrician last evening for a fever of 103. He states that grandsons ears are clear and throat was a little red but checked for strep and it was negative. Prescribed Augmentin and fever went down a little today and then this afternoon fever back up to 103.4. He is drinking and is taking in some food. Do we need to worry. ALternating motrin and tylenot
Thanks for your query on health care magic. From history it seems your child has throat infection. Augmentin is a good antibiotic for this infection but it may take 2-3 days to take effect. I advice you to wait for at least 72 hr. if even after that time fever is not decreasing you may consult your doctor again for repeat examination and investigation, to find out actual cause of fever. hope this information will help regards: Dr Deepak Vaishnav
