As per the culture sensitivity report the organism is sensitive to amikacin so the other antibiotic may be held up.
Minor fever is possible with injectables.Needs follow up if injection site is ok .
Normally with correct Antibiotics fever should go.
If it persists needs further work up with USG of KUB, ensuring correct dosage of antibiotic etc.
Next Steps
Wait for 24 hrs ,if fever persists consult the paediatrician.
