What Causes Fever Inspite Of Having Strep Throat Treatment?
My 9 year old son was diagnoised with Strep Throat yesterday. He has had 4 doses of 500 mg Amoixicillian fever flexed between 100 to 103.5 all day yesterday. Gave him Tylenol last at 5:30 this morning and his fever is now running 94.3 to 95.3, should I get him looked at again?

hi
thanks for your question
it does take some time for the fever to settle with strep throat. I would give it 48hrs before returning to your dr.
you should give him regular Tylenol and Ibuprofen to help bring his temperature down.
best wishes
