What Causes Fever, Swollen Glands And Fatigue While Treating An URI?

My daughter was seen on Monday for swollen glands, fever, etc. She was diagnosed with URI and given antibiotics. She has been taking them since Monday but her fever is higher, continued swollen glands, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, etc. She was seen again today and had blood drawn, which showed elevated white cells and protein. This is the second time in 4 months that she has had this. Could this be something more than a URI?
