blood tests?

No, the amox should not cause a fever. Is that what they gave her for the ear infection? DId they check with CF before prescribing it? Our CF center would insist on augmentin instead, its a compound that includes amox, but is stronger and for our CFers that spend so much time on abx it seems that you need the bigger guns.

If she's running a fever a few days into the amox, my guess is that the infection is not being taken care of.

(((HUGS))) Poor Sadie, those ear infections are really miserable.

Heather, you are absolutely right. I called our CF doc this morning and told him she is still running a fever and he called in augmentin for her. I had contacted them yesterday letting them know we had taken her in and what they prescribed, and this morning when I called, he said he'd been expecting my call, as he figured the amox was not going to work.

Thanks again all!
