Patient's question:
My child, who is fourteen months old, has been experiencing repeated fever and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said their white blood cell count is extremely high. It has been three days already. Today, the doctor prescribed fever reducer, which has now been finished. Can the fever reducer still be used? Can other fever-reducing medications be used as well?Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
The treatment has lasted for three days, but the fever is still present.
Desired Help:
I just want to know if my child can still use other fever-reducing medications after finishing the fever reducer today.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you take your baby to another hospital for a check-up, as different doctors may have different opinions. It is best to test the finger blood to see if there is any inflammation. Fever is a symptom, not a disease. Only by finding the cause of the fever and treating it accordingly can the fever be reduced. When your baby has a fever, they may become more fussy, so we need to be patient and comfort them more. We hope the little one recovers quickly! The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my white blood cell count is high and I still have a fever after three days of treatment?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
