Suggest Treatment For Fever In Child

hi, my 3year old son has fever accompanied with cough since the last 7 days, for the first 3 days, augmentin duo was given, he didnt respond so we took him to a paedtrn she suggested a blood and urine test, mild traces of urine infection was detected. So Doc suggested Keflor and Bricarex for the cough. my son was fine without fever for 3 days( antibiotic is still on) but 4th day fever upto 101.8 F is back and has come down with a crocin, but i dred it will shoot up again. Pls advise.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi madam , cough and fever suggest either an upper or lower respiratory tract infection , which most of the time it's viral , that's why the antibiotic didn't help withdrawing the fever , the second spike is mostly due to secondary infection by bacteria which is maybe an atypical one which will respond to azithromycin . but before that I recommend doing a chest x-ray to exclude empyema or abscess into the lungs .
if your child exhibits a symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection like runny nose or snoring he might have sinusitis which requires high dose and prolonged cause of antibiotics .
I hope this is helpful
