Patient's question:
The child had previously been feverish and was treated with medication. The child has now recovered, and has already started attending kindergarten. Here is the situation: On last Friday evening, we took the child out for seafood. Then, around 11 PM, the child started feeling a bit warm, with a temperature reaching as high as 38°C (37.XX°C being the lowest). We didn't give the child any medication, and the child didn't wake up. We slightly reduced the amount of bedding, and the child's temperature returned to normal on its own within about two hours. Because of the previous fever, the child felt warm on Friday, and on Saturday, we took the child for a follow-up check-up. The results were even more concerning than before.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, in the early stages of illness, white blood cells have not yet reflected it, so white blood cells will never decrease. It will only decrease after 24 hours. If it decreases to the level you mentioned, it is necessary to check the classification of white blood cells to see if it is neutrophils or lymphocytes that are decreasing. It is recommended to focus on medication and recheck the blood routine one week after taking the medicine. You can supplement with zinc preparations and vitamin AD, which can help children reduce their immunity.
