Question
The girl is currently being carefully examined at a children’s hospital due to coughing and fever. The doctor has recommended intravenous fluid therapy and mentioned that the initial blood test showed elevated levels.
Answer
Based on the routine blood test, the white blood cell count is above the normal range, with an increased percentage of neutrophils and elevated C-reactive protein levels. This suggests that the baby may have a bacterial infection. The cough is quite pronounced, so it may be considered to perform a mycoplasma antibody test to rule out mycoplasma infection. It is recommended to take azithromycin suspension or cephalosporin drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment, along with traditional Chinese medicine like Children’s Lung-Clearing and Blood-Cooling Granules, and to drink plenty of water. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
