My daugther had a tonsil infection and was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days.  We left out of the province the 10th day and I forgot her medication, so she took it as prescribed for 9 days instead of 10.  2 days later she started a fever. I gave her motrin every 8 hours. The fever is coming back every time the 8 hours is past.  Now, 2 days of fever out of province later, she woke up in middle of night shaking and saying she is cold BUT NO FEVER.  Again I gave her motrin, it took an hour before she stopped shaking and fell asleep.  We drove back to our house today and got home late.  Now, I'm wondering if I should not wait more and go to the hospital or if it's OK to wait tomorrow to see a walking doctor?? Tks, Audrey
