Fever and dysensry
My 1.5 year baby is having fever since yesterday, started both paracetamol and antibiotics as per doctors guidance. From today dysensry also added.
If I give paracetamol the temperature is getting down. but after some hour it's raising again
Shall I wait and continue this medicine for three days or need to take blood test now itself?
She is active, also drinking milk as usual.

If oral intake is good enough can wait for two more days, getting early tests may not give any conclusion.. just continue same medication

Can consult me online if any further problems arise
