Patient's question:
A child with white blood cells of about 15 is suffering from tonsillitis. Why does the (repeated medication) not lower the white blood cell count? Is it serious? The child has tonsillitis with white blood cells of about 15 and has been treated repeatedly in the hospital, but it hasn't improved. As soon as the medication is stopped, the child complains of a sore throat. What should be done? Is this considered serious?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics need to be used in a standardized and appropriate manner, including the duration of treatment, dosage, and administration method. Your repeated use of medication and the recurring condition of your child indicate that you are not using antibiotics correctly. Of course, there may also be a situation where the antibiotic is not effective against the bacteria.Recommendation: It is suggested to conduct a bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, and then use the sensitive antibiotic in a standardized manner to facilitate your child's recovery as soon as possible, preventing the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
I hope this helps! Wishing your family happiness!
