Question
How to treat a child’s fever with a blood count of 17,000?
Answer
Considering the possibility of viral or mycoplasma infection in the child, it is recommended to go to the hospital for blood tests and imaging to aid in diagnosis and treatment. If it’s a viral infection, the treatment period may be longer. For mycoplasma infection, treatments with azithromycin or erythromycin can be used. Gastroenteritis can also cause fever, so timely treatment is necessary. It is suggested to use some children’s medicine like Merck, along with amoxicillin granules for treatment, which can be effective.
