Question
Why do children with white blood cell counts around 15 have recurring tonsillitis?
Answer
During the treatment process in the hospital, the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, despite multiple uses of antibiotics. The white blood cell count remains elevated without a downward trend. Once medication is stopped, the child will experience symptoms of sore throat. This may be due to inappropriate use of antibiotics, not following the appropriate treatment course, dosage, and administration. It is recommended to conduct bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests to determine the suitable antibiotic and to follow the doctor’s guidance and use it properly to help the child recover quickly and reduce the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
