Children with a high fever of 39 degrees have normal blood count

A child's high fever of 39 degrees with normal blood count is usually caused by a viral infection. Generally, a high fever caused by a viral infection will not cause abnormal blood counts. Only when there is a bacterial infection will the blood count increase.

Normally, the blood test for viral infection is normal because viral infection is self-limiting. The fever may last for about 5 days. However, if it is a bacterial infection, the blood count may show a significant increase in symptoms. Usually, the blood count is only a reference value and the specific value should be determined based on the clinical symptoms.

Children with a high fever of 39 degrees should usually be cooled down in time, otherwise there may be a series of complications, such as encephalitis and convulsions. They can take antiviral and antipyretic drugs under the guidance of a doctor and combine it with physical therapy. They can apply antipyretic patches and wipe the whole body with warm towels, especially the forehead, armpits and other parts. Generally, by actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment, the fever can be reduced.

There are usually many causes of high fever, and it is necessary to check the causes of high fever in time and treat the causes. Generally, the disease can be controlled. During the treatment and recovery period, the child's health condition should be closely observed. Once abnormalities occur, timely treatment should be given. At the same time, drinking more warm water can help reduce fever.
