Hello, iam Carlton Capaldi, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.
Ugh, not again! It seems like I’m always getting a fever when I need antibiotics. But this time, I’m determined to get the help I need and get back on my feet. So here goes nothing - off to the doctor’s office for me! Wish me luck!
Do You Need Antibiotics If You Have A Fever? [Solved]
Well, don’t expect to get antibiotics unless your doc suspects you have a bacterial infection like strep throat. ‘Cause if it’s a virus, like the flu or a cold, an antibiotic won’t do squat - it won’t cure it or make you feel better.
Antibiotics: Medications used to treat bacterial infections, which are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
Fever: A rise in body temperature above the normal range of 98.6°F (37°C). It is usually a sign of infection or illness and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as chills, sweating, headache, and muscle aches.
Diagnosis: To determine if antibiotics are necessary for treating a fever, it is important to first identify the underlying cause of the fever through diagnosis with a healthcare provider.
Treatment: If antibiotics are prescribed for treating a fever caused by an infection, it is important to take them exactly as directed and finish all doses even if symptoms improve before finishing the course of treatment.
If you have a fever and think you might need antibiotics, don’t wait - get to the doctor ASAP! Antibiotics can help fight off infections that cause fevers, so it’s important to get checked out. Don’t take any chances - if your fever is high, head to the doc pronto!
