Hello,
Decreasing intensity of fever indicates that the underlying inflammation is under gradual control. Appearance of fever suggests that it is not totally recovered. Your baby requires follow up with pediatrician to change the antibiotic molecule to another group or continue the same in further duration of course as per the clinical decision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
