Hi my 9 month old son has just been released from hospital after seven days of IV antibiotics. He's happy to be home with his twin brother, he's much better now and smiling alot. I'm now a bit worried, I keep checking him. We have all been vaccinated. I'm just concerned for him. How do I know if the infection is not going to come back? Should it be totally gone after seven days of IV antibiotics?
