Would you see GP/midwife?
I made a post about thinking I had a chest infection on Christmas Day. I ended up going to the hospital both for reduced movements and to get assessed. I’ve been on antibiotics since. The fever went away after a day or so but this evening I’m spiking a fever again. I’ve taken paracetamol but I’m wondering whether I need to speak to someone about it. I don’t know why the fever would come back unless I’ve caught something new or the antibiotics aren’t working. I still have a terrible cough and have a sharp pain in my back ribs every time cough.
Really fed up over here.

Sounds rough! I would call them because at most they will tell you it's normal and carry on with the antibiotic? Never feel like you are wasting their time is what I have been told anyways, just call if you have concerns. Good luck!
I’m the exact same as you. I ended up in triage on Boxing Day with Flu A & chest infection and been on antibiotics since, but I’m not feeling much improvement, and depending on paracetamol. I thought of calling midwife today again, but not sure if I should wait it out a bit longer. If you have the flu, like me, I think it’s a very bad strain and might take a couple of weeks to recover 😥
