Based on my son's six-day fever, cough, and cold treated with Calpol 250 mg, Ambroxol hydrochloride, and Phenylephrine hydrochloride + chlorpheniramine Maleate + Sodium Citrate Syrup, and his negative tests for dengue and malaria, what do his abnormal white and red blood cell test results mean, and what medicines or diet plan should we use to help him recover?
In a two-year-old, a six-day viral illness often temporarily alters white and red blood cell counts as the body fights the infection. This is a common immune response and typically resolves. Please share the specific lab results with your pediatrician to rule out any secondary bacterial infection. For recovery, continue the prescribed paracetamol (Calpol) and cough syrups as directed. Focus on keeping him hydrated with water, milk, and warm soups. Offer soft, easy-to-digest foods like bananas, rice, or yogurt in small, frequent portions. Keep him comfortable, and consult his doctor if the fever persists.
