Question
My child, who is three and a half years old, had a blood test at the hospital and the white blood cell count was 15.8. It was said to be a bacterial infection with a persistent high fever. The fever subsides slightly after taking antipyretic medication, but it starts to rise again after 4-6 hours. The effect of the cefalexin anti-inflammatory medication is also not significant, and there’s some redness and swelling in the throat. What should I do? It’s urgent!
Answer
This could be due to tonsillitis. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medications and Qingkailing granules for treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as cold foods, and eat more fresh vegetables. Children have weaker body resistance, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery symptoms. Parents should take their children to professional hospitals for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and pay attention to regular check-ups for the child, as well as taking symptomatic medication under the guidance of a doctor.
