Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Fever present when not on antibiotic but relieved on antibiotic. This may be due to bacteria that is acting as reservoir or due to any hematological problem. Check for any abscess in your body, urine routine, complete hemogram, USG abdomen to diagnose any problem. If you have any other problem then discuss with doctor, get complets examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
