Doctor's answer:

Children with colds and coughs are often caused by viral infections, but bacterial infections are often considered. This blood test report does not support bacterial infection, but it only requires a detailed examination. Clinical symptoms are also needed to confirm the diagnosis. This report shows that your child has anemia, and it is recommended to add anti-inflammatory medication, such as cephalosporins. Yinhuoning is a traditional Chinese medicine, and it has more side effects. It is considered that this medicine may have caused the loss of appetite. Ambroxol can be used alone, but once a day is sufficient enough, because your child's lung infection is not severe.
