Question
My baby is 14 months old. Last week, she had a recurring fever and cough, with a white blood cell count of 24. She was prescribed azithromycin for four days and just got better for two days. Yesterday, she started having diarrhea, fever, and dry vomiting again. The doctor said it’s enteritis. Today, she was given glucose and ceftriaxone, but her spirit is still low, and she keeps having a high fever. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the above situation, it is initially considered to be caused by a viral infection and it is advised to closely monitor the baby. This may be related to an upper respiratory infection. Pay attention to keeping warm, drink plenty of water, and avoid eating foods that may cause diarrhea. With an elevated white blood cell count, it is recommended to undergo intravenous treatment. These suggestions are for reference only, and it is advised to consult with a doctor for professional advice.
