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
