<s>[INST] My son was given and antibiotic after running a high fever for almost 5 days. They tested him for strep and it was negative but the prescribed him an antibiotic anyway. He is still running a low grade fever after having 3 doses of his antibiotic do you think there is something else going on? The antibiotic he is taking is azithromycin. [/INST] Hello,This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question.Fever is a symptom that indicates that an infection is going on in your son's body. Azithromycin is a very good medicine, and it works for lots of bacterial problems, but people may also be resistant to it, or there are also problems who may not be covered by it.The fact the its not working after the third dose, means that one of the above options is possible, and you need to consult your doctor again, so he runs another check up, does other labs, and gives the proper antibiotic that your son is sensitive to.Hope this helps,Take care. </s>
