Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear

Welcome to the platform of Health care magic,

Fever, bodyaches, High polymorphs and CRP positive, all are indicator of some bacterial infection in the body,

Require some further investigations like blood culture etc.

Dear Mm it is required to give some broad spectrum inperical antibiotic till the culture report is available.

If the culture is positive then he should be given relevant antibiotic according to the culture report, with proper doses and duration.

Hope the query is answered.

Thanks
