Antibiotic is not an answer for all diseases. One needs to know the cause of fever... Depending on the cause.... treatment is given... And thre r many antibiotics....which should be given is decided by diagnosis and child's weight... More history is needed to decide diagnosis without examination
Next Steps
better to consult if fever continues
