Hi ...if the child is having high fever then it is better to give antibiotic injections and then give syrup once the fever comes down ..since oral antibiotics have already been started ,you can wait for 24 hours(4 doses) and see your doctor if fever does not settle ... If he is not feeding well or having vomiting then you must see doctor immediately...
