Hello,
As the temperature spikes are becoming lower in intensity, it suggests that the infection is being under control with the current therapy.
In my opinion, there is no need to seek advise of an another doctor, rather add home remedies to become normal at faster pace such as gargles with salted lukewarm water, turmeric powder in milk with tulsi for herbal support and immunity boost up.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
