My 10 month old boy has been taking Biaxin for 2 days for an ear infection in both ears. Last night he had a fever (39°C). Should I go back to the doctor?

Good evening, It is possible that it may take up to 72 hours for the antibiotic to take effect. In the meantime, I recommend alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen every two hours for the next 24 hours. If the symptoms persist after that, please contact your doctor or pharmacy for a new prescription.
