Patient's question:
White blood cell count is high, C-reactive protein is high. The child has intermittent fever, has been hospitalized for three days, and re-examination of blood tests still shows slightly elevated C-reactive protein. The child's mental state is still okay, eating and drinking normally. Do they still need to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation, it could be tonsillitis, bronchitis, or a cold, which are diseases caused by the transmission of bacteria or viruses, leading to a recurrence of fever. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If it is acute purulent tonsillitis, the use of cephalosporin antibiotics is necessary, and hospitalization treatment would be more appropriate. The above advice is in response to the question "Should I be hospitalized if my white blood cell count and C-reactive protein are high?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
