Still high temp 2 days after starting antibiotics for bacterial tonsillitis

[Sunnyside1902]

3 year old sin was sent home from nursery Monday with very bad temp, managed to get him to doctors and they sias bacterial tonsillitis

Was ill the week before, got a bit better then unwell again

He didn't get the 1st dose of antibiotics till Monday night (waited hours for prescription)

He still wasn't well yesterday but there was a massive improvement in him today, he was playing, running around, eating etc, but this evening his temperature has spike again (came down with nurofen)

Is this normal or should I be concerned??

Is it normal to still have a temp 2 days into antibiotics. I was so pleased he seemed so much better this morning, and now so worried again with the spike of temperature

It can take longer than 2 days to feel better once antibitoics have started. The fact he's perking up slowly is a good sign.

Thank you
He seems much better again this mornkng, just seems to be the evenings where he becomes tired and has a raise in temperature

Hoping there is more improvement today

Temperature has spiked again today, I would have thought after this amount have time he would have stopped getting a temperature 😣so worried, tried contacting gp but they woild not help, so now I've had to resort to sitting up A&E as I really think he needs to be checked again as this has now been lingering for 2 weeks with the on and off temperature

I've come here through search as exactly same thing happening with my daughter. She was given a 5 day course of antibiotics 10 days ago but it wasn't enough and symptoms came back Tuesday evening. Got more antibiotics yesterday and has now had 2 full days on them but throat still red and angry and it still hurts. The first time around the antibiotics kicked it into shape really quick but seems as though it's built up now because they didn't give a long enough course and she's really ill with it now :(

Hope your son improves soon x
