Question
How should a child’s blood test report be treated? The child has a slightly red and swollen throat with small blisters on both sides, not oral ulcers. A routine blood test has been conducted. What should the treatment be?
Answer
Based on the results of the routine blood test, the child’s blood count is slightly elevated, which may be related to infection, with a higher possibility of viral infection. If the throat is red and swollen with small blisters on both sides, it may be due to lymphoid tissue hyperplasia at the posterior wall of the pharynx or herpangina. Treatment suggestions include oral antibiotics such as cefixime or amoxicillin clavulanate potassium, as well as traditional Chinese medicine like Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid or Qingkailing. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water.
