Question
The child’s white blood cells and C-reactive protein levels are elevated, with intermittent fever. The child has been hospitalized for three days, but the C-reactive protein level is still high. Although the child’s mental state is good and appetite is normal, consultation is needed on whether to continue hospitalization?
Answer
The child’s condition may involve tonsillitis, bronchitis, or the common cold, which could be caused by bacteria or viruses. If fever recurs, a detailed examination is recommended. In case of acute purulent tonsillitis, cephalosporin antibiotics may be required, and hospitalization is suggested. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
