Patient's question:
My baby is 14 months old. Last week, he had repeated fever and cough, with white blood cells at 24. He was given Azithromycin for four days and just started feeling better for two days. Yesterday, he started having diarrhea, fever, and dry vomiting. The doctor said it was gastroenteritis. Today, he was given glucose and Cefalexin, but his spirits are still very poor, and he has a high fever. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you mentioned above, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by a viral infection. Please pay close attention and observe carefully. This condition could potentially be brought on by an upper respiratory infection. It is important to take care to avoid colds, drink more water, and consume fewer foods that may cause stomach upset. Since your white blood cell count is high, it is recommended to receive intravenous treatment.
