Yes you need to wait until the completion of antibiotic course.
Meanwhile give medication and also give more water,fluids semi solid foods like kichdi,java,porridges and do sponging (keep a wet cloth on forehead,baby back for 10-15 minutes again dip in water and squeeze continue to sponge to maintain normal temperature 98-99 along with medication.

RahimaMom of 2 children1 Year agoA. what tests are conducted in blood test, ensure to conduct the dengue and malaria tests as well, if everything is normal, give your kid fluids more often and if the fever doesn't controlling try giving paracetamol for every 6 hours, of still not reducing take him to hospital at the earliest to be on safer side, don't take risks with kids as they are our valuable to us...
