Back to the GP you go! I would def take him again - when my ds had his one and only ear infection he was awful before the anti b's but the temp went down within 48 hours once on them. Good luck.

doctor said viral infection as rash on his body.

temp up again in night to 38.5, apart from being exhausted worried what all the calpol is doing to him.
