Question
The blood cell test report for a ten-month-old baby shows that all indices are normal except one, which is 26, whereas the normal range should be below 5. The doctor stated that the baby has inflammation, with a body temperature of 37.7 degrees Celsius, feeling flushed and red in the face, not crying, and no symptoms of anorexia. Treatment included intravenous drip for a week, with two hours of drip on the first day, a bottle of symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and pediatric cold relief granules as well as jujube seed granules. Is the condition really that severe, or is the baby still smiling despite having a slight fever?
Answer
According to the report, the baby’s condition is not severe; it is mainly a mild upper respiratory infection that can be recovered with a few days of intravenous drip. I hope your child recovers soon.
