Pls help.

My baby is 4.5mths now. never vaccinated and will never be vaccinated! About a mth ago she had a high fever and they found bacteria in her blood. They forced us to do a spinal tap that we refused at first but relented (BIg Freaking mistake) the Dr screwed up really badly. Didn't wait for her to be hydrated. Didn't want to give pain medicine bcos "oh she will forget about it in an hour..." (Whatever!) and didn't even do it in a sterile environment. And made me bend her back to "give her an opening into the spine" (What the Heck?) Anyway... the stupid Dr didn't get any CSF and therefore they treated my baby as "Presumed Meningitis" with high doses of Rocephin and Gentramicin 3 times a day. Finally after 1 week they find out it wasn't Meningitis but it was called Acinetobactor lwoffi and lowered the dose and only to 1x a day. She received antibiotics for 14days.

Now 2 weeks later, she started having green poop (3 days ago). Oh and now she poops practically after every feeding or so and is very gassy since the antibiotics and they said Diarrhea was a side effect. I mean like bad gassy to a point poop comes out! Before she would poop every other day or 2. Today 3 days later she had a fever of 100.6F and there was so much green jelly mucous! Her basal temp is between 97.6-98.4F only. What do i do?
PS - I had eliminated milk for the last 2 mths but started drinking it about a week ago. But Fever?

Green poop is pretty normal for an infant and it can happen frequently. It sounds to me however like this is a more serious problem and that she does warrant immediate medical attention. When could you get her to a doctor?
