What diagnostic and therapeutic steps should be considered for a patient experiencing persistent fevers of 103?F on the third day of empiric antibiotic therapy, despite regular antipyretic use and largely unremarkable initial laboratory results?

Asked by Male, 30 · 12 days ago

Since the fever of 103?F is continuing on day three, it is very important to contact your doctor right away for a re-evaluation. They may want to repeat some blood tests or cultures to see if a different bacteria is causing this, or consider if the cause is viral. They might also suggest adjusting your antibiotic or changing how you manage the fever with paracetamol or ibuprofen. Please seek prompt medical attention so they can help you feel better soon.
