Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital to get a stool test for my 3-month-old baby. The doctor found 2-3 white blood cells and prescribed Gentamicin Sulfate Granules. She said to take it for one day, two packets at a time. Is it okay?Current treatment history and effectiveness: Taking probiotics.
What kind of help do you need: Can I take Gentamicin Sulfate Granules?
Doctor's answer:
In normal feces, white blood cells are not visible or appear occasionally. When there is an increase in neutrophils, it is commonly seen in conditions such as small intestinal or colon. When there are more eosinophils, it is often associated with allergic enteritis or intestinal parasitic diseases. This indicates inflammation, and anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. For children taking gentamicin sulfate, it is best to avoid it if possible and instead consider taking cephalosporin medications. The above advice is for the question "Can I take gentamicin sulfate granules if there are 2-3 white blood cells in the fecal test?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
