Patient's question:
The child is now 11 months old and has started to have a fever. They went to a nearby clinic and received an antipyretic injection. In the afternoon, they went to a local hospital to get a blood test. The doctor said the blood count was high, but there were no abnormalities in the urine. They were given a box of cold medicine. Today, the child is coughing very severely and is not eating much. Their spirits are not as good as a few days ago.Doctor's answer:
Is this situation possibly related to uncontrolled bacterial infection? It is recommended to have a blood test for complete blood count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, blood culture with drug sensitivity testing, chest X-ray, and other relevant examinations. Select a sensitive antibiotic and provide symptomatic and supportive treatment such as inhalation therapy. Drink more warm water and get adequate rest. The child currently has high blood indicators, indicating some inflammation. Continue to drink more plain water and wait for further observation. Follow up after the illness improves.
