A fever this high in a baby can be serious. If the doctor suggested hospital admission, it is best to follow that advice. Children can deteriorate quickly and early treatment in hospital helps control infection and dehydration.

My blood report says leukocyte count is 3900 cells per cumm, platelet count is 86 thousand per cumm, and SGOT AST is 72 IU per L. How can I get back to normal. What am I suffering from. Should I go for some check up? Please help.
