Patient's question:
The child had a fever and cough two days ago. X-rays confirmed pneumonia, but the blood test results were normal. After receiving five days of azithromycin infusion, the cough symptoms significantly improved. However, three days after stopping the infusion, the cough became severe again. The doctor checked the child's blood test results and found elevated platelet count and white blood cell count. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Platelets and white blood cells are high, which may indicate inflammation in the body. It is recommended to take appropriate anti-inflammatory medication regularly. Additionally, closely monitor the child's condition and pay attention to timely digestion of vitamins and boosting immunity. Pneumonia tends to recur frequently, so it is advisable to seek systematic treatment at the hospital. This will help the child recover effectively and reduce the likelihood of future recurrences.
