It started 4 days ago with the headache, slight heartache, and slight kidney ache. I was shivering, and the body temperature went up to 38.4C. Next day the temperature was about 37.8C, so I went to the doctor. He got me checked but found nothing. Since I had to travel abroad, he prescribed Levofloxacin 500 mg. Today, 2 days after I started taking antibiotic, my body temperature went up to 38.4C again. I am afraid it’s a virus, and antibiotic only makes it worse. May I stop taking it?

General Information:
Hello. Antibiotics need to be followed for the whole course (duration) of treatment. And take the time needed to work. It would be a bad idea to stop the treatment now. Regards
Hi.,
You should continue taking antibiotics as it is probably infection and there is a possibility that if there is kidney pain it can be urinary tract infection..
However a complete blood picture should be done and in case if there is a doubt of urine infection then a urinalysis can also be done..
For now continue taking antibiotic and along with it take light diet and drink plenty of water..
Take sufficient rest..
Hope this helps..
Regards.
