3.5 Year Old Kid, Suffering From Throat Infection. Taking Antibiotics. Blood Tests Done. Suggestions?
My son aged three and a half years Suffering from throat infections Antibiotic was taken by the doctor injected for four days And antibiotic syrup for three days Was the work of analysis were as follows ESR 45 1H ESR 90 2H HB 11.4 PCV 35 RDW 13.2 MCV 81.8 MCH 26.6 MCHC 32.6
Thanks for writing to health care magic. I can understand your concern. Was a throat swab for culture done? If so what is the report?
What does the total count say? What is the neutrophil count like?
Is he responding to those antibiotics? Did the fever subside? If so continue the antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. Continue to ask further queries as required. Hope this helps. Take care. Dr Y V Siva Sankara Murty M.D.(Pediatrics) Associate Professor of Pediatrics

3.5 Year Old Kid, Suffering From Throat Infection. Taking Antibiotics. Blood Tests Done. Suggestions?
Hi, Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic. What is WBC count? It is important in interpretation of the complete blood picture result. ESR is high and it is a non specific test and it is elevated in anemia, chronic infections. I advise you to continue the medication and write back to with the WBC count so that I can give you the advise. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
