I had cold, cough, and fever two weeks ago. I consulted a doctor who prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin 625 mg), Paracetamol 500 mg, and Ascoril cough syrup. After a week, the cold and cough continued with a runny nose, so he gave me some cold tablets for two days, which helped temporarily. Now, I am again experiencing severe cold, cough, chills, and a temperature of 97 to 99F since yesterday. Today, I consulted the doctor again, and he recommended some blood and urine tests. I have attached the reports. He is asking me to take IV therapy daily for four days along with more antibiotics. I shared my medical history, and he suggested getting a second opinion from you regarding this treatment. Should I continue treatment with him, or should I go to a bigger hospital? Please advise. Blood Report: WBC: 12,950 /cumm Neutrophils: 77 percent Eosinophils: 7 percent ESR: 36 mm/hr AEC: 905 /cumm Urine Report: Appearance: Cloudy Albumin: ++ Pus cells: 26 to 28/hpf Epithelial cells: Present in clumps

Report suggests infection, possibly urinary or systemic. IV antibiotics may be justified. If no improvement in 2 days, consult at a larger hospital.

Can someone please explain if WBC (TLC) count rises only in bacterial infections, or can it also increase in viral infections?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Sir, I have attached two copies of my report for the lymph node behind my ear. I have been taking different antibiotics for the past three weeks. I am having a fever once a day around 100 degrees and headaches. The doctor has said that if it is not cured, it may need to be removed surgically as it is a bacterial infection. Please suggest the best treatment in homeopathy or should I consider surgery?
