Hi I am Dr.kadhir,
At first i would like to reassure that these results are more suggestive of an infection.
She has anemia (probably iron deficiency) but i need to know the hemoglobin value and peripheral smear report to comment more on this. Anemia is more common in kids and they usually respond well to iron supplementation.
Her slightly raised total counts and positive c reactive protein are more suggestive of bacterial infection which responds well to antibiotics.
It would still suggest a pediatrician opinion, as it is easy to derive a diagnosis by examining her, thereby to treat her appropriately. I hope that i have cleared your doubts.
Thank you for the consultation in health care magic.

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
High WBC count, positive CRP are suggestive of bacterial infection and with correlation of her symptoms it looks like an upper respiratory tract infection.
But other focal infection such as pneumonia and urine infection has to be ruled out by seeing her X ray chest and complete urine examination.
By seeing CBP, CRP we cant diagnose tuberculosis or cancer and so nothing to worry about them.
A course of antibiotic is required to treat the infection.
So consult the pediatrician for examination and for specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
