Question
What should be done if a child has a high blood count and persistent fever?
Answer
According to the blood count report, the child may have an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to use cefaclor and paracetamol phenylephrine for treatment. During the initial stages of treatment, the child may experience repeated fevers. In this case, physical cooling methods such as warm water baths, alcohol rubs, or ice packs can be used. If physical cooling methods are not effective in lowering body temperature, antipyretic drugs such as paracetamol phenylephrine, children’s fever suppositories, or Merck can be used. Treatment should last at least two days, and body temperature will gradually return to normal as the infection improves.
