Dear Lybrate user bacterias are always secondary to us they cannot attack us till our immunity gets some loopholes thus curing this tendency by constitutional treatment will automatically give him cure naturally without any recurrency.

I feel you should take a second opinion from another physician. The cause of fever may be something else. It is not right to keep giving antibiotics again and again.

Get a urine routine and microscopy and urine culture and blood culture done, also get done a cbc and chest xray ,it has to checked which organism is causing infection and which antibiotic will work on it. Colistin is a good antibiotic used only when other antibiotics fail, if he has been previously given this, it's less likely that urinary infection will be causing fever this time... Or he really had only urine infection, other source of infection has to be found out also..
