Is a persistent, fluctuating fever between 99.7?F and 101?F expected for a 67-year-old patient who initially presented with a high fever of 104?F and is currently being treated with Ofloxacin 200 mg (twice daily) and Senarest (three times daily)?

It is actually quite common and reassuring to see the fever come down from a high of 104?F to these lower, fluctuating levels. This suggests that the Ofloxacin and Senarest are actively working to fight the infection. It often takes 48 to 72 hours of antibiotic treatment for the body to fully stabilize and for the temperature to return to normal. Please ensure he completes the prescribed medication course, rests, and stays well-hydrated. If the fever spikes back up or if he develops new symptoms like breathing difficulties or confusion, please consult his doctor promptly.
