[quote=Anonymous]When I got home from work this evening, I found my DC (age 5) with a fever of 102-3 and quite lethargic (which is quite unusual, based on previous episodes with fever). Since the pediatrician's office was already closed, I took DC to the urgent care around the corner from my house - to check for an ear infection and strep. Well, the rapid strep test came back negative, and there was no ear infection. Nevertheless, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic because she thought it looked like strep. Now I am sitting at home, debating whether to give the antibiotic now or wait until I talk to our pediatrician tomorrow. WWYD?[/quote]
