Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Either antibiotics are wrong or diagnosis is not correct.
Since all in all your daughter is having fever from last 7 days .
So fever may be due to .
1 Malaria , get in blood slide for malarial parasite.
2 Typhoid fever , get in blood for Widal test or serology test for confirmation.
3 Jaundice is also a main cause of fever low grade ( 101*F),get in serum bilirubin level , sgot, sgpt , hepatitis.
4 For pneumonia get in X ray chest whether it resolved or not . As fever recurs so in my opinion this is not a case of pneumonia or treatment was not correct .
In my opinion consult another paed doctor and get his opinion as mentioned .
Good luck.
