Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Most of the time fever are viral in nature and requires only symptomatic treatment.
Need of antibiotic like amox depends on the local infection trends so it is always better to follow the doctor in the locality.
Amox is prescribed for fever.
Hope this information helps.
Take care
