How to treat a child who has been coughing with phlegm since the day before yesterday?

Patient's question:

The child started coughing with phlegm two nights ago and has now started running a clear nose and light coughing without a fever. Here is today's blood test results. Is it a viral cold or bacterial? Thank you very much for clarifying.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the condition and the child's complete blood count test report you uploaded, the main consideration at this time is still a viral infection. This is because the white blood cells, neutrophils, and percentage of neutrophils have not decreased. However, the child's hypersensitive C-reactive protein test results have decreased. According to your description of the condition, you can go to a pharmacy outside to buy children's cold medicine granules for your child, and use it in combination with cefixime granules, taking it with warm water to achieve some antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatment effects.
