Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. I was wondering if the blisters in the baby's throat are causing the fever to not go down. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and symptomatic treatments such as azithromycin and virazole under the guidance of a doctor through oral administration or intravenous infusion. During the recovery period, some traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Xiao'er Yanbian Granules and Yinhuang Granules can be taken orally. Avoid cold, spicy, and raw foods, and drink plenty of water.Herpangina is caused by a virus, but since your child's white blood cell count is high, there may be a possibility of a bacterial infection. The treatment course is not yet complete, so continue taking the medication. Recheck the white blood cell count after 3-4 days of medication.
