Hello,
My brother has a high temp... and is sick witht he flu like symptoms.
How long can a 7 year old have a 39.00 degree temp. plus?
I have seen a doctor and he gave him antibiotics.. Should he go to hospital?
Thankyou so much.

I would take him to the ER if this continues and the antibiotics do not kick in, a high fever for a long period is not good.
