High temp day 5 but just viral?

[Bigkingdom]

My 3 year old became unwell on Monday and we took her to a GP hub who diagnosed a throat infection and gave her antibiotics. We were having trouble giving these to her so went back to the GP yesterday morning and they gave us different ones.
Despite being on antibiotics my daughter is still unwell, not eating, barely drinking, fever that goes up to 39.6, coug, bunged up etc.
I took her to urgent care lastnight as she seemed to be getting worse, not better. After checking her ears, throat and chest the doctor said she doesn’t have a throat infection, her ears are fine and that she has a viral wheeze due to a viral infection.
So here we are day 5 and she is still really unwell, fever of 38.8 this morning. I am worried that her high temp is lingering for so long. None of my children have had a fever for more than 3 days before. I’m getting concerned.

Bump

My 2.5 year old had this in January. It was horrible, and he hardly ate for a week, but the GPs we saw said the same- just viral. It got better in the end, and DC recovered just fine. Really worrying though!

Does the fever go down a bit with calpol/baby neurofen?
That’s my personal ‘worry’ radar.

DS had this last month too, it’s horrible and DH caught it as well and had a temperature for 3-4 days and he’s a grown man.

So I always go by

1. How are they when their temp is down? If they’re much better, eat & drink, are alert and interested in things then I won’t go back to GP. If they’re still lethargic, still not eating, really not themselves then if I’m concerned I will go back.

1. If their temperature has come down for a day where I’ve not needed to use paracetamol/ibuprofen but then goes back up then that warrants a check by GP/urgent care etc

1. They started getting better but go back down hill and/or develop more symptoms then I go back.

Calpol and ibuprofen bring the fever down enough for her to drink abit of juice or milk. Today she has just eaten a few skips which is the most she has eaten all week.
