Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is 2 years old. Recently, he has been coughing for two months. Seven days ago, he had a fever of 39 degrees and went to the hospital for a urine test, which showed 18,000 white blood cells. The blood test results also showed 18,000 white blood cells. What illness is this? Is it better to get intravenous drips for inflammation without staying in the hospital?Doctor's answer:
If the baby is in this condition now, it is caused by inflammation. I suggest giving the baby more hot water to drink. It's best to take the baby to the hospital for inpatient treatment with intravenous drips. You can also take some anti-inflammatory medication, such as Cefixime granules. It may also be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, which leads to the above symptoms. It is recommended that the baby have a light diet and drink more hot water. If it is more serious, it is suggested to receive intravenous treatment for a faster recovery.
