Antibiotics brought the fever down. No amount of meds seemed to get rid of the thrush. It would be 6 months and I think steroids before I finally got rid of the thrush. Of course, no one ever told me I shouldn't be eating anything 'white'.
He's allowed to stay in bed with fever. Hope he's feeling better soon.
Take care,
Eileen
