Hello
Thank You for contatcing HCM.

It depends upon the type of infection patient is suffering from. Different antibiotics are for different diseases caused by different microorganisms. Without knowing the root cause one can not prescribe an antibiotic.

As your child is having High grade fever, i would recommend you to do cold water sponging to bring temperature at a lower level.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy
to answer your questions. If you do not have any clarifications, you can

Wishing him good health.
