What are the recommended medical next steps for a 7-year-old child experiencing a recurrent high fever of 103.5?F and ear pain that persists despite treatment with mefenamic acid (Meftal P) and amoxicillin (Germox)?
Since his fever of 103.5?F and ear pain are persisting despite taking amoxicillin (Germox) and mefenamic acid (Meftal P), it is very important to have him evaluated by his pediatrician as soon as possible. The current antibiotic may not be targeting the specific germ causing the infection, or he may need a different dosage or treatment plan. In the meantime, keep him cool, well-hydrated, and comfortable. Please seek medical attention promptly so he can get the right care and start feeling better.
