Has he been back to the doctor?? If not he NEEDS to go back.. espically if he has a fever.. you need to make him drink fluids keep him hydrated.. Take him back to the doctor.. has he ever taken that medicine before?? if not the reason hes NOT getting better is because he could be having a negative reaction to it.. has he gotten worse?? he might need something different to take.. Try to give him some juice and soup.. Is the reason he wont eat because his stomach hurts?? hes just not hungry or does he just not feel like it?? convenice him to eat... Just take him back to the doctor.. see whats going on.. Hope i was of some help.. Take care and keep me posted.. i hope he gets better soon!!
