I
have had fever ranging from 99.0 to 102.5
for seven days now. I just started on
cephalexin yesterday. How long should I
keep having this fever before I go to the
hospital for iv antibiotics? I think I am
dying some days. I have a 10 month old
and a 2 yr old and it's about to take me
down!!!! Help help help!!!

I assume you're the mother - a father
would have been in bed on day 1 - is there
any one you can get to help care for the
kids & fathers are perfectly capable
they just do everything they can to give
the opposite impression (to be fair not
all but alot) you need plenty of fluids,
bed rest!!!!!!!!!! Cool baths,
panadol/disprin/asprin (depending on what
it's called there) hourly to bring the
fever down & if need be go to the
hospital if that's the only way you can
get the rest & help you need.
