Is it normal to still have a temperature of 99.5?F on the third day of a 5-day course of azithromycin (1000 mg daily), after my fever returned following a 14-day treatment with Mahacef and 15 fever-free days?
A temperature of 99.5?F is considered a very low-grade fever and is quite common on the third day of your 5-day azithromycin course. Your body is still actively working with the medication to clear the infection, especially after your previous treatment with Mahacef. This mild elevation can be part of the natural healing process. Please complete your full antibiotic course as prescribed, stay well-hydrated, and rest. If your temperature rises further or you develop new symptoms, please reach out to your doctor.
