Pediatrician,  's  Response
thanks for asking
I gone through your question, your 8 year old granddaughter having fever since 3 days.she is on antibiotics, fever persisting and he playing some.
As you said that your doctor diagnosed sinus congestion and advised antibiotics. The antibiotic take about 72 hour to start action.
So as you said his stomach pain gone and he playing some, If i was treating pediatrician i would suggest for wait some more time to antibiotic to act. In my view no need to visit ER right now.
hope I answer your query
wishing you healthy family
