Hello,
As per the history you are giving, taximo DT is not an anti-viral but a anti-bacterial medicine. In case this medicine was prescribed earlier, it was a bacterial infection earlier. But regarding the present symptoms it can be a viral infection if the fever is coming on intervals.
Next Steps
stop taximo DT, but continue calpol 500 twice a day.
and more importantly get the blood investigations done for the confirmatory diagnosis.
please contact for more information.
