Our daughter who is 9 yrs old and normally healthy has been running a temperature of 102.2 f for the past 10 days. First the walk in doc told it might be urine infection and prescribed antibiotics for 10 days. This was ruled out in the next two days by our family doc as her urine was fine but fever was still high.  Then they told us it might be flu for which we waited till another 3 days. Then as there was no other symptoms she was complaining of gum pain for which she has been on amoxicillin 250 mg and she is on that medication but still fever has not come down. Her blood test has also been taken for which there is nothing new as per our family doc.
Child Chat Doctor.  It is often associated with high rise of temperature as in her case. Antibiotics have no role to play in such infections. All that needs to be given in case of a viral infection is paracetamol to bring down the temperature, and some antiallergic along with. Her gum pain could be unrelated to the cause of her fever. But since it has already been 10 days, I would strongly insist that you get her blood tested to rule out typhoid as a possible cause. If typhoid is identified to be the cause, some different antibiotics like ofloxacin would need to be prescribed.
