Bummer though! I hate the back to back illnesses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-while-on-antibiotics#post-449708 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 06:51:16 +0000 creativemomma15 449708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been on a round of amoxicillin for about a week for an ear infection. He had a fever over 103 last week and was utterly miserable and in pain, so I tried not to worry about just giving him an antibiotic. It is his first ear infection and he was just so sick. Looking back, I think he had it for a while due to different little hints. Anyway, he has been on the antibiotic for 1 week and now yesterday started getting a cold again and today woke up super stuffy and has a fever of 101.1. Should I be concerned that he has a fever even while he has been on antibiotics? (Add to that mommy guilt because on Thursday morning I missed one dose through getting ready for work and getting him ready to go to his grandma's.) </p>
