My 8 months old daughter had fever on 11th July (monday) and it continued on 3 days. 13th july went to pediatrician he prescribed paracetamol and cephalexin drops (antibiotic) for 5 days. From yesterday I started giving cephalexin drops. Now no fever but she got allergy all over her body after giving antibiotics. Shall is stop giving antibiotics? Or continue?

You should continue the antibiotic for prescribed days even after fever has subsided.
