My 11 month old baby has been having fever for the past 15 days. Only her head feels very hot, and it occurs mainly at night. Today, we did a blood test, which shows very low hemoglobin and a blood infection. What should I do, and what treatment is needed?

Continuous fever and low hemoglobin suggests possible infection or early anemia. Give fluids, iron rich foods, and continue prescribed treatment. Repeat CBC, CRP, Blood Culture, and Iron Studies for clearer diagnosis.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

I am having mild fever, throat infection with no cough, body aches, and weakness. I had erythromycin with paracetamol. My blood test report shows ESR 16 mm at 1 hour with normal up to 15, lymphocytes 4085 cu/mm with normal 1000 to 4000, and eosinophils 570 cu/mm with normal up to 500.

My baby is 10 months old and his weight is 8 kg. Now he is suffering from a running nose with fever and cough. We checked the baby temperature and it was 102 degrees. Fever is coming and it has continued for six days. Today the urine pus cell test report shows 3 to 6 hpf and the CRP test result shows a positive reaction in 1:8 dilution and CRP concentration is 4.8 mg/dl. What should I do?

I have had a fever for more than 24 hours along with a runny nose. After taking paracetamol, the fever went down, but it returned this morning. I am attaching my blood test report for your reference.
