Please continue the prescribed course of the antibiotic Taxim O (cefixime) for now, as stopping it early can lead to incomplete treatment. You can give Colpol (paracetamol) to keep them comfortable. A returning fever could simply be a viral phase or require a treatment adjustment, so it is best to consult your pediatrician before getting any blood tests. They will guide you on the next steps and ensure your child gets the right care. Ensure your child stays well-hydrated and rested.
