Patient's question:
Doctor, the child has had a high fever of 38.8 since yesterday morning. Yesterday, they went to the children's hospital for blood tests, which showed a neutrophil percentage of 76.7, lymphocyte percentage of 15.0, mean corpuscular volume of 79.1, mean hemoglobin content of 25.3, and red blood cell distribution width of 33.4. All other results were normal. The child is also sneezing with clear nasal discharge. What could be the cause? Today, the fever is still high at 39.5.Doctor's answer:
Based on your blood test results, the main issue is that neutrophils are elevated, which may indicate a bacterial infection. Other values are slightly higher or lower, but they don't cause significant interference. Given your child's current condition, you can consider using several medications for treatment. If there is no history of significant allergies, you can use medications such as Cefixime Granules, Children's Cold Tablets, and Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Tablets. It's important to drink more water and use a cold towel to apply to the forehead. In terms of diet, it should be light and you can eat some semi-liquid foods like congee and noodles.
