Hello,
Antibiotics must be restarted. If there is repeated attacks of fever, the focus of infection must be identified.
Conditions like urinary tract infection can cause similar symptoms. A urine routine is also required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
