Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Clamp Forte is an antibiotic and will not bring down the temperature. It shall act only if there is a bacterial infection which is sensitive to the antibiotic and the effect will be evident in 48-72 hours of starting the antibiotic. Till then the temperature will have to be brought down by an antipyretic like Crocin.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing your daughter an early recovery.

Regards,
