Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have high fever after finishing the antibiotic course which could be due to urinary tract infection It could be due to viral infection, infectious mononucleosis, sinusitis and respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. Take multivitamin tablet as well to booster immunity. Avoid excessive oily food and cold beverages. You should go for blood and urine tests for confirmation of diagnosis. Drink plenty of water. Take antibiotic along with cough expectorant and NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Chew vitamin C pellet daily.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
