Patient's question:
tonsillitis, low fever. November 10th past treatment and effectiveness: intravenous drip for 4 days with white blood cells still at 18000, before the drip it was 32000, the medication was cephalexin. What assistance did it provide: I want to know why after 4 days of intravenous drip the white blood cells haven't exceeded the normal value, and if this might lead to other illnesses.Doctor's answer:
If the baby's high fever and tonsillitis have decreased, then the treatment is effective; if the low fever and tonsillitis have not decreased, then it proves the treatment is ineffective. The reason may be that the bacteria causing tonsillitis are resistant to cephalosporin antibiotics. It is recommended to take a saliva sample from the tonsil area for bacterial culture and perform a drug sensitivity test. The medication should be determined based on the results of the drug sensitivity test. The baby should not have other illnesses.Care and Support: Drink more warm water, pay attention to ventilation in the room, and wish for a speedy recovery!
