Patient's question:
Baby is 11 months and 25 days old. After getting vaccinated, she had a fever for three days, with a highest temperature of 40.1°C. She went to the hospital for a blood test, and the results showed white blood cells at 2.1 and neutrophils at 0.9. The doctor said her white blood cell count was too low and recommended hospitalization. After staying in the hospital for one day, she no longer had a fever. It has been three days since her fever broke. Today, she had another blood test, and her white blood cell count increased to 4.43, but her neutrophil count dropped to 0.2. The doctor said not to discharge her, as it is quite serious. How should I respond?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice. The child's white blood cell count has already dropped, indicating relatively weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infections. Hospitalization is advised. Currently, the child's white blood cell count has improved, so it is recommended to focus on careful observation for a period of time.
