Question
The baby had a fever one week ago and after being hospitalized and receiving intravenous fluids for six days, the follow-up blood test showed a low white blood cell count. The previous treatment and its effects were as follows: During the fever period, ceftriaxone and Reheat Ning were administered for six days, and the follow-up blood test showed a low white blood cell count with an increased lymph ratio. I would like to get some help: I want to know what the cause is, please have a regular doctor answer, thank you for how to treat.
Answer
The medication and treatment the baby received during the fever period may have affected the white blood cell level. A low white blood cell count may be related to viral infection, bacterial infection, chemical or physical factors from medication, or possibly chronic blood diseases. It is recommended to have another follow-up test after some time and consult with a doctor to determine the specific cause and treatment plan. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery.
