Repeated fever spikes

Question

Asked for Male, 3 Years

Initially fever spikes were occurring on 27.04.2019 and doctor saw symptoms of herpangia(pollen in mouth). Prescribed Calipol and Meftal in case of high fever. Since fever spikes (approx 100 deg F every 4 to 5 hrs)were not coming down and patient vomited 5 times the next day, we saw doctor again. He said there is possible stomach infection and prescribed antibiotic Taxim-O. Today evening is second day completion of 5 day antibiotic course. Still fever spikes are not reducing. Patient appetite was down, and is slowly picking up. But tiredness is there. Urine passing is 4 times daily.
