He's on zithromax for follow up from a lingering cold. Fever started just today. Went away with motrin throughout the day. He drinks plenty of liquids. If a fever persists through tomorrow, wouldit be best for him to be seen again? Thank you.

continue zithromax,consult pediatrician

Detailed Answer:
Welcome
I understood your query, and sorry for late reply.
You can continue zithromax and give PARACETAMOL syrup for fever. But as I told you before, do not ignore fever in children.
If it repeatedly occurs, then consultation with pediatrician will be helpful.
Do not worry.
You can ask me any question.
Take care
Thanks
