Temperature of 99 is normal. The normal body temperature range for a healthy adult is generally between 97°F (36.1°C) and 99°F (37.2°C).
Your symptoms are important than temperature.
If you still feel he is feverish, get blood tests done and review.
Get CBC CRP, dengue IgG/M, Peripheral smear for MP, typhoid test done and review

Fever running into the 5th-6th day needs a cause, not just more Dolo. Antibiotics started blindly often don't cover what is actually there - dengue, typhoid, malaria or a urine/chest infection all look like this in the first week.
Next Steps
Get CBC, dengue NS1/IgM, malaria, widal/typhidot, CRP and urine routine done today, and show the reports to a physician. Continue Dolo 650 only when temp crosses 100F, plenty of fluids. If breathlessness, bleeding, severe drop in urine or drowsiness - go to hospital immediately. You can consult me on Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Five days of fever that keeps returning even after antibiotics means you need to be reassessed. This isn't something another round of the same medicine will fix for you.
Next Steps
Please go back to whoever prescribed your antibiotics and show them how your temperature has moved day by day.
Health Tips
If your fever climbs higher, or you develop a rash, breathlessness, or confusion, please get seen urgently.
