Patient's question:
Tianjing symptom description: Small red blisters started appearing on the face at 6 days old, and they have been increasing in number, appearing like pus-like substances. Today, the doctor checked the blood and said the blood count is elevated. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor said it might be the face causing the elevated blood count. Desired help: What is growing on the face, and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
General elevated blood counts are usually caused by inflammation, but unless it's a chronic condition, the specific site of the lesion can be clearly identified, such as the throat, tonsils, etc. The child's data indicate that there is still upper respiratory tract inflammation. Have you noticed any coughing, coarse initial symptoms, or other signs in the child? It's best to start the child on anti-inflammatory treatment first, and it's also recommended to conduct an EB virus or mycoplasma test.It's advisable to use anti-inflammatory medication for intravenous treatment for several days, which tends to be more effective. During the treatment period, pay close attention to ensuring the child drinks plenty of fluids. As long as the blood count remains below 10,000, it is generally not a serious concern.
