Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Her raised Total leukocyte count of 19,000/c, mm suggests secondary bacterial infection probably of the respiratory tract following viral fever. She should take a course of broad-spectrum antibiotic preferably amoxycillin & clauvulinc acid combination (Augmentin) in standard doses for at least 05 days. Her Joint pain following viral fever is most likely due to reactive arthritis. NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) e.g piroxicam 20 mg orally daily with antacid like omepraole 20 mg orally daily for 3-5 days will give relief.







Regards
