Patient's question:
The child suddenly had severe coughing. I did a blood test and the results were all normal. The doctor seemed to say it was bronchitis, and they gave injections and performed nebulization. Originally, the child wasn't feverish, but after two days of injections, they started fevering up to 39°C around 6 PM. The doctor said to take ibuprofen, which indeed helped reduce the fever. Could the doctors here please take a look at the test results and explain how they concluded it was bronchitis? Also, how long should the fever last?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. Based on your description, it seems there are no abnormalities in the test results. Since the doctor has diagnosed it as urethritis, it's possible that the fever is caused by inflammation. If the complete blood count test is normal, you can check for Mycoplasma, as Mycoplasma infection can also lead to conditions like tracheitis and pneumonia.This is the advice for the question "My child suddenly has severe cough. I did a complete blood count, and the results are all normal. How should I treat it?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
