Question
What medication should a coughing baby take to get better quickly? The blood test report shows a white blood cell count of 10.2, a lymphocyte ratio of 53.9, and a neutrophil ratio of 37.5. What does this mean? What medication should I give the baby?
Answer
Based on the blood test results you provided, the baby may have a viral upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital for further examination to confirm the diagnosis. In daily life, pay attention to the baby’s diet and rest, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, and provide appropriate care. You can give the baby vitamin C to boost immunity, use virazole granules in the early stage to treat viral infections, and if the baby has symptoms of runny nose and cough, you can use pediatric paracetamol yellow amine granules and dextromethorphan, among other medications. Please follow the doctor’s instructions for medication use. The above is for reference only.
