Answer

This condition is indicative of a bacterial infection. According to experience, it usually requires intravenous treatment, typically with cefalosporins or penicillin medicine. Since the baby’s blood count is elevated, it is recommended to undergo intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment for quicker recovery; oral medication may not be as effective. Treatments such as “Ying Bì Zhì Lì” and ribavirin are generally effective, and improvement is usually seen within 3-5 days.
