Dear sir, My son is six month old, having fluctuating fever since two days.blood test done and his hb is 8.5 . Paracetamol syrup was givn and fever subsided. Wbc count is normal but there is slight variation in nuetrophil n eosinophil count. Can you tell me any antibiotics to be given for my child and will it be safe for him. Please reply
Hi...this seems like a viral illness. I don't think thus requires antibiotics so soon as its only 2 and day of fever. If the kid is active when the fever comes down with paracetamol... Its most probably viral. So do not worry. If his is exceeding more than 5 days without any localizing signs, then see your pediatrician for further evaluation. Regards -
