It's me again. Another massive mommy fail I feel like a horrible person. I will call nurse in the morning but I need advice on what to do.

So DS (3.5 years old) broke out with a 101.8 fever on Thursday. We went to the doc and they suspected he had bronchitis and gave him antibiotics. He did not cough or nothing, not even runny nose, so I always suspected it wasn't bronchitis and was very skeptical about the antibiotics. After a day of antibiotics his temp rises and didn't feel better but I continued. He just wasn't getting better at all on Friday (in fact it was worse as I almost had to take him to ER because his fever wasn't coming down after Advil, at 103.2) and the struggle of giving him meds plus the excessive diahrrea (10 times in 12 hours) made me want to stop the antibiotics, if it wasn't doing anything. He did feel better on Friday overnight though but we went in to the doctor again on Saturday morning because I already made an appointment.

At the doc he saw a bright red throat and somehow he didn't do a strep test on Thursday (?!!?!?!) however he said since he has been on antibiotics he would not be able to get an accurate result. I asked if we could stop the antibiotics because it didn't get him better the first and second day, and he agreed that he should have gotten better by yesterday, so he said it is ok to give it a break for 48 hours if he took a turn for the worst then we can restart.

He was ok throughout Saturday and I was relieved and for sure it was something vital... Until tonight, his temperature went up to 103.2 again.

Now I am sitting here at 530am freaking out and wonder if I made a fatal mistake of even asking to stop the antibiotics. Maybe he was strep throat all along and he started getting better on Friday evening. However he didn't have a rash like mayo clinic suggested. I also can't go in to get an accurate strep test because it hasn't been 48 hours yet. It still can be viral and if it is indeed viral I would hate to make him suffer through 10 days of diarrhea.

What would you do if you were me - would you restart antibiotics in the morning, or wait another day? I will call the nurse in the morning but I want to hear your thoughts on if there are viral things that does take weird fever patterns like that and such.
