How long on antibiotics before I see an improvement?

My 3 year old son has an ear infection combined with a cold. Since 3 days today he doesn't feel well mainly at the end of the day and very bad in the evening. Fever, muscle pain, chills and loss of appetite +++. Antibiotics started this evening after a medical consultation.

He was fine when he woke up vs last night, but again tonight he is very feverish, no appetite, ultra tired and uncomfortable. The fever seems to bother him more than his ear infection. As of yesterday, he says his ear no longer hurts, but the ear infection was indeed confirmed by his doctor today in the morning.

The antibiotic is Amoxicilin.
Her fever is currently 38.5 taken in the axilla.

Hello ma'am,
This antibiotic may take 48 to 72 hours before you can appreciate its effects.
If your child has a fever, you can give acetaminophen along with the antibiotic without any problems.
Hopefully you have been helpful, please do not hesitate if you have any further questions!

Is it worrying that my coco refuses to eat and that the fever comes out in the evening with weakened state and a lot of discomfort and this in spite of taking tylenol at 17:00 and advil at 20;00

It is normal for his appetite to be decreased if he is sick. As long as he is drinking/eating, even if it is less than usual, it is suggested to continue to monitor his condition with the antibiotic.
If he started the antibiotic tonight, the fever is also normal. Encourage him to drink as much as possible.
