Question
A four-year-old girl has previously suffered from mycoplasma infection and has been cured. Recently, she has had two upper respiratory infections and has been treated with cephalosporin antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and roxithromycin. Blood routine tests show that the white blood cell count is below the normal level, the percentage of neutrophils has decreased, the percentage of lymphocytes has increased, and the platelet count is normal. How can one determine if the child has a blood disease?
Answer
Since a physical examination cannot be conducted, the following suggestions are for reference only, and specific treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor. The diagnosis of a blood disease requires a detailed medical history, physical examination, and a series of laboratory tests. Based on the provided information, it is initially suspected that the girl may have a blood disease, but further checks are needed for confirmation. Once confirmed, immediate treatment should be coordinated with the doctor, along with gastrointestinal decompression and the development of good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
