THe only medication for fever in cats is Meloxicam but this needs to be given by your vet, there is nothing from a human pharmacy that is safe for cats. if he is not eating for 2 days- the amoxy drops are not enough, he will need other medications and treatment, please take him back to the vet ASAP.
