Question

Hello. My baby turned five months old on 19th April. Since the night of 14th April, he had a mild temperature between 99.2 degrees F and 99.8 degrees F. After two days, I consulted his pediatrician, who suggested starting the antibiotic Cepodem 100 syrup. He had a previous history of UTI and was hospitalized at two months old, so the doctor also advised a urine test, which I have attached for reference. Since 20th April, he did not have a fever. However, the day before yesterday, in the morning, his temperature was 99.4 degrees F, which later returned to normal. No fever occurred yesterday, but today morning I observed his temperature rising again. The temperature readings so far are: at 6 am arm 99.2 degrees F, rectum 100.5 degrees F, at 9.30 am forehead 99.3 degrees F, arm 98.7 degrees F, at 10.30 am rectum 99 degrees F, underarm 98.8 degrees F, at 12.15 pm 99.3 degrees F. My question is why is the fever coming again? Could it be due to the hot environment?
