Question
In recent days, my body temperature has been consistently dropping, and the white blood cell count in my blood test is high. I’m not sure how to handle this situation.
Answer
If your white blood cell count in the blood test is elevated, this is typically an indicator of an upper respiratory infection. To address this issue, you can use antibiotics such as cefaclor for inflammation and combine it with antipyretic and analgesic drugs like paracetamol to help reduce fever. After taking the medication for at least two days, your body temperature should begin to drop. Before the anti-inflammatory effect takes effect, you may experience repeated episodes of fever. In such cases, you can try physical cooling methods such as warm water baths, alcohol sponge baths, or ice packs. If the physical cooling method is not effective, you can consider using appropriate antipyretic drugs, such as children’s fever-reducing suppositories, Merck, or Zengong Zaixin, etc.
