Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Anytime there is any sort of infection, even after starting antibiotics it takes 48-72 hours minimum for fever to subside. In case your baby is active, has improved otherwise in symptoms, do not worry continue to maintain temperature chart. I should appreciate you have done a good job of maintaining record. Hope this helps you.
