Hello I understand your concern If your child is eating at least a little, alert, passing urine, and playful between fevers — it’s safe to continue observation for now. Continue antibiotics as advised Maintain hydration and nutrition Fever control with paracetamol Avoid unnecessary medications or changing antibiotics without review
Next Steps
Continue antibiotic for 5 days and watch for red flag signs
Health Tips
Red flags: Fever >7 days despite antibiotics Child becomes very drowsy, irritable, or lethargic Breathing difficulty Rash, swelling, or new symptoms (like vomiting, loose stools) Refusal to feed or poor urine output High spiking fever after an initial improvement

It can be viral fever which can last up to 2 weeks. Visit your pediatrician regularly for check ups to rule out any major problems. Fever by itself is not dangerous. No need to worry unless baby is very weak
