Question

When a child’s white blood cell count is around 15 and they have tonsillitis, why does it keep recurring? Even with medication, the white blood cell count doesn’t decrease. Is this situation serious?

Answer

When using anti-inflammatory medications, it is important to adhere to the standard protocol for the regimen, dosage, and administration. If the child’s condition keeps recurring despite medication, it indicates that the use of antibiotics may not have been in accordance with the protocol. Additionally, it could be that the antibiotics are not sensitive to the bacteria. It is recommended to conduct bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, then use sensitive antibiotics to promote the child’s recovery and avoid the development of drug-resistant bacteria. I hope this helps! Wishing your family happiness!
