Hi All,

My 15 month old DS has had a persistant fever for the past 2 days. It comes down with panadol / nurofen but as soon as that wears off its back to 38.5 - 40'C. Last night it was 39.6'C and he wasn't happy at all.

We went to our GP yesterday who put him on Bactrim (Antibiotics) and diagnosed another ear infection. He hasn't been eating much at all, but he is still drinking most of his milk and some hydralite we've been giving him as recommended by the doctor but definitely not as much as usual.

Anyway, it's been 2 days since he started getting this fever. I'm not sure what to do. Do I keep giving him panadol/nurofen? Do I wait for the antibiotics to start kicking in?

What do I do next if the fever doesn't break? Take him to hospital? What will they do that I can't do at home?

I'm just worried

Thanks for any advice you can offer..
