Question
My baby is 7 months old, and has had a slight fever of around 37 degrees for the past 3 days, coughing, and producing phlegm. The hospital examination showed elevated white blood cells and platelets. How should we treat this?
Answer
Hello, this condition may be related to fever or infection, and it is recommended to use antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. If the elevated platelet count is not severe, increasing fluid intake can help improve the situation. Children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infections, so it is advisable to take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and to have regular health checks.
