Hello and thank you for your question. Recurring high fever can indicate a worsening of the infection. It is also true that antibiotics can take a few days to start clearing the infection and thus lowering the fever. If your fever is not down in a few days you need to return to see your doctor. If you perceive that you are getting worse instead of better then a return to see the doctor immediately would be a good idea.
