Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years and 9 months old, with a fever, mild cough, and a highest temperature of 39.7°C. They have already taken fever-reducing medication. The complete blood count results are as follows. Please kindly review them with the doctors. The throat is slightly red.Doctor's answer:
If white blood cells are elevated, consider bacterial infection. If white blood cells are normal, consider viral infection. At least three days are required. The key is to drink plenty of water and take medication that targets the symptoms. If the infection is caused by a virus, ribavirin granules can be used. If the infection is caused by bacteria, penicillin or cephalosporin drugs can also be given to the child, which may help in recovery.
