Patient's question:
Hello! There is a baby a few months old with persistent high fever. The blood test results show white blood cells at 2.8, decreased hemoglobin, decreased hematocrit, decreased mean corpuscular volume, decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and decreased mean platelet volume. Is this a symptom of leukemia? Why can't the temperature come down?Doctor's answer:
Please specify the specific test results. It is best to perform manual leukocyte classification, do not trust the instrument results. Currently, it is generally not leukemia. It is also recommended to use physical cooling, which is the method of bathing with 25%–50% alcohol for physical cooling. Alternatively, use cold compresses, placing a wet cold towel on the forehead, wrists, and calves, covering other parts with clothing. It is best to take medication and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
