Child has a fever, high white blood cell count, high neutrophil count, C-reactive protein

Patient's question:

Yesterday I had a fever, and today I went to the hospital for a blood test. My white blood cell count was 20.2, neutrophil count was 14, and C-reactive protein was 23. I received intravenous drip with ceftriaxone and Tanreqing. When I came home, the child still had a fever, with a temperature of 39 degrees.

Doctor's answer:

White blood cell count, neutrophils, C-reactive protein, etc. have increased, indicating a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are needed. Whether to use intravenous antibiotics can be determined based on the severity of your symptoms and the results of your test.
