Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years and 9 months old, with a fever, slight cough, and a highest temperature of 39.7°C. They have already taken fever-reducing medication. The blood test results are as follows. Please kindly review them with the doctors. The throat is slightly red.Doctor's answer:
If the white blood cell count is elevated, it should be considered a bacterial infection. If the white blood cell count is normal, it should be considered a 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.
