Patient's question:
My child has been breastfeeding for 20 days short of a week. The past two days, both my child and I caught a cold, and my child had a fever of 39 degrees. I took Lixinsa and got an injection, while my child took Dalfen, Ibuprofen, and cold medicine. However, in the past two days, my child's lips and face have turned pale. Blood tests at the hospital showed a white blood cell count of 12.86, red blood cells of 5.59, hemoglobin of 113, hematocrit of 35.5, platelets of 387, neutrophils of 23.84, and lymphocytes of 63.54. The platelet distribution width was 0.38, the mean corpuscular volume was 63.5, the mean corpuscular hemoglobin was 20.2, the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was 318, and the mean platelet volume was 12.2. The absolute lymphocyte count was 8.17, the absolute monocyte count was 1.13, the red blood cell distribution width standard deviation was 36.2, and the red blood cell distribution width coefficient of variation was 16.4.I want to know if my child is anemic. My child is still a bit stuffy now. The white blood cell count is quite high—is it a viral cold?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a viral infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to timely treatment for pediatric blood diseases, patients need to consult experts frequently and maintain communication with doctors. Patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that they can achieve good treatment effects.
