[|Human|] HI, my 7yr old daughter is having fever since last 48 hrs and has been diagnosed with Throat Infection. Has been prescribed paracetamol and and antibiotic. However, the fever persists at around 101 to 102 levels. Also she is complaining of mild stomach ache and has diarrhea. Is there a reason to worry, or should I wait for 24 hrs more.
[|AI|]  Hi, I guess the diarrhea came after starting antibiotics. Usually, it will take 48-72 hours for fever to come down after starting antibiotic. If he is not very tired and taking diet as usual, need not worry-just wait for 2-3 days. Meanwhile, give him plenty of oral fluids (ORS best) and a soft diet. The diarrhea is probably related to antibiotic. It is because of alteration in our normal gut flora-will subside once the treatment is completed. If diarrhea is quite disturbing, we may need replacement of antibiotic and addition of a probiotic, your doctor will guide you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
