Hello, why did he take antibiotics ? Does he have sore throat? Cough? Common cold ?gastroenteritis? He should not take antibiotics simply without prescription . Viral infection can also cause high fever but It subsides on its own. Take him to nearest hospital and consult general physician don't let him take antibiotics unnecessarily.
