Patient's question:
The baby is 7 months old. Recently, for the past 3 days, they have had a slightly low fever around 37 degrees Celsius, coughing, and have phlegm. A check-up at the hospital revealed elevated white blood cell and platelet counts.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation does not rule out fever or infection, and it is recommended to try using fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs. If the platelet count is high and not severe, it is advisable to drink more water appropriately, which should improve. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
