Patient's question:
I want to ask, my child is one and a half years old, with a high fever that won't go down, almost 40 degrees. The doctor recommended hospitalization, but I didn't hospitalized. Then he asked to check this blood test report to see if there is a viral infection?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described and the careful examination results, it appears to be an upper respiratory infection during the incubation period of a bacterial infection. Given the baby's current condition, with elevated white blood cell count and neutrophils, as well as an elevated CRP, it is primarily caused by a bacterial infection. You can take cephalosporin antibiotics for inflammation. If the fever persists, hospitalization may be necessary for treatment. Encourage the baby to drink more water regularly, as it helps boost the immune system.
