Baby has fever and low neutrophil count

When your baby has a fever, if you do a routine blood test, you will find that the neutrophil count is relatively low. Generally speaking, this test result is often related to viral infection. At this time, because the baby has a fever, some antiviral drugs should be used in time. In addition, you should pay attention to diet adjustment and let the baby get enough rest. These are generally caused by a cold, so parents should not worry too much.

Baby has fever and low neutrophil count

The child's low neutrophil count is likely due to a viral infection, and the fever is also the result of a viral infection. The child is relatively young, so generally the infection will be accompanied by a fever.

If the temperature is over 38.5 degrees, it is generally best to drink some nimesulide granules to reduce the fever. If it is lower than that, don't drink it. It is best to be hospitalized for intravenous treatment. You can also try taking some medicine first. If it doesn't work, you can go for intravenous treatment. Drink more water.

Why do children get infected with the virus?

In life, being infected with a virus has always been something we worry about and fear, but it is inevitable that we fail to take care of our bodies, leading to infection with the virus. Especially children, their resistance is weaker than that of adults, so it is easier for viruses to invade. But why do children get infected with the virus?

1. Respiratory tract

If the air is already contaminated by the virus, children are more likely to be infected with the virus after breathing the air. Another thing is that if you come into contact with saliva containing the virus, the virus will enter the respiratory tract and cause infection.

2. Digestive tract

If the child drinks contaminated water or food, the virus will enter the mouth and then the digestive tract, and eventually the child will be infected with the virus.

3. Skin

When injecting into the skin, if the needle is infected with the virus; or if we are bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus, the virus will enter our body and cause us to be infected.

4. Placenta

Another reason why children may be infected with the virus is that they are infected by the mother during delivery. That is to say, the virus is transmitted to the fetus through the mother, making the fetus a virus carrier from birth.

What to do if you have a fever due to a virus infection

After a child is infected with the virus, a series of symptoms will appear in the body, threatening the child's health. Some children will experience general discomfort, headache and other symptoms after being infected with the virus, while some children will develop fever after being infected with the virus. So what should we do if a child develops a fever after being infected with a virus?

1. Physical cooling

When a child has a fever due to a viral infection, the first thing to do is to give the child warm water in time to help the child replenish the water lost due to the fever. Then use warm water to wipe the child's body, which can also help reduce the temperature. Another thing is to pay attention to children's clothing. Don't let them wear too many clothes, which will also help cool them down.

2. Medication

When the fever is more serious, you should choose to give your child medication. When giving your child medication, you must consult a doctor first. After all, children's response to medicine is different from that of adults, so we should avoid excessive dosage and causing serious side effects.

3. Daily care

Because the child's fever is caused by a virus, the child's food and toys should be disinfected regularly, and raw and cold food should be avoided as much as possible. At the same time, we must also pay attention to keeping children warm.
