I'm worried about my 9-month-old - they've got a cold and cough but no fever. I can't see a doctor in person right now. What medicine can I give them?

My child recently had a fever, so we took him to the child care hospital. They did some blood and urine tests, and the doctor told us everything was normal. However, I noticed that the neutrophil count in his WBC was quite low. The tested count came in at 12, whereas I believe the actual count should be around 1744. Should I be worried about these low neutrophil levels?

A low neutrophil count, also known as neutropenia, can make your child more susceptible to infections. In this case, since the tested count is 12% and the normal range is 17-44%, it is slightly below the normal range. To help increase the neutrophil count and boost your child's immune system, you can consider giving them supplements like Neupogen (Filgrastim) at a dosage recommended by the doctor. Additionally, ensuring your child maintains good hygiene practices and eats a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help improve their immune system. It is important to follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of your child's neutrophil count to ensure it returns to the normal range. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be recommended to track the progress.

My 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?

It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.
