Does Antibiotics Needed For One Day Long Fever?
My son is 5 and half yrs old. Having fever since last 24 hrs. It stays at 100-101 F. Doc started with Crocin. Given 8 ml dose of crocin evry 6 hrs but fever didn't subside. He was active and didn't complain of much body pain. Coughing in between. Should we start antibotics now. Doctor has prescribed Taxim 50mg.

HI as your kid is active with low grade fever and mild cough-its a viral fever and no need to give antimicrobials just for one day fever
