Patient's question:
The child has a cold and is feeling quite serious because their deep sleep quality has been poor for the past two days, and even after taking medicine, it hasn't improved. So, I plan to take her to the hospital for a complete blood count check. How long does it usually take to get the check results?Doctor's answer:
If it's just a blood test, it takes about 30 minutes to get the test report, but this also depends on the queue situation at the hospital. If the cold is severe, a thorough blood test can help determine whether it's a viral cold or a bacterial cold, so targeted treatment can be administered, which will help the child recover much faster.
