Patient's question:
Why does a fever damage the brain? Which cells are most affected? Does the increase in body temperature during a fever benefit enhanced enzyme activity?Doctor's answer:
Normal neutrophil count should not exceed 70%, and a value above 70% suggests the possibility of a bacterial infection. Currently, the baby has a fever, with a neutrophil count of 77.1%, indicating a high likelihood of bacterial infection. For infants with fever symptoms, if a blood test shows elevated neutrophil levels, it indicates an existing infection. It is recommended to administer antipyretics if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, along with antibiotic treatment. For vomiting, attention should be paid to feeding. If the temperature fluctuates and the fever recurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for follow-up.
