[|Human|] I have 2 year daughter who has been with a fever 100 for two days, I took her to her doctor, he told she had throat infection; well the doctor said she does have a throat infection and prescribed antibiotic and fever reducer.My question is from last two days her fever seems not reduced with the fever reducer. (Still her fever is 99.5 to 100)She is just so hot to the touch. How many days will take for better result?
[|AI|]  Hi, It depends on the organism causing the infection. She has been prescribed an antibiotic and in case she is suffering from a bacterial infection, it should reduce in 3-4 days. However, in case she is suffering from a viral infection, the antibiotic will have no effect on it and fever will itself decrease in 6-7 days. I'd suggest you to do tepid sponging whenever her temperature starts to increase. Take a cloth, completely soak it in water and apply the wet cloth to her whole body. This will be very effective in reducing the temperature for the time being. Regards.
