What is the reason for fever when blood count is not high?

The baby’s health is what parents are most concerned about. Although fever is a common problem, we still hope to avoid it. The main reason for a baby's fever is that the body's resistance is relatively low. Sometimes eating cold food or catching a cold can cause the baby's fever. At the same time, fever is closely related to blood count. Generally, the blood count will be high when the baby has a fever. But why do some babies have a fever even though the blood count is not high?

When a child has a fever, parents should do physical cooling before sending the child to the hospital for treatment. Using a cooling patch or wiping the baby's body with warm water can effectively reduce the temperature physically. No matter what causes the fever, it is important to control the body temperature.

When your baby has a fever, use a small towel soaked in warm water to wipe the baby's armpits, palms and neck. This has the best cooling effect. Do not wear too many clothes when the baby has a fever, and try to open diapers or nappies as much as possible. If the baby's fever does not affect bowel movements, it would be even better. Let the baby drink more warm water.

I just mentioned what parents should do before sending their children to the hospital. Now let's talk about when a child has a fever that is always not good, and a blood test shows that the blood count is not high, it means that the child's fever is not caused by bacterial infection. The baby's fever is usually caused by four reasons: indigestion, autoinflammation, viral infection, and bacterial infection that has been ruled out. Therefore, parents must provide the doctor with information about the people the child has recently come into contact with and whether there is any possibility of exposure to the source of infection in life.

If the influenza virus has been clearly seen around you recently, and children have fever after drinking too much, then if the baby has a high fever that does not go away, it is very likely that the baby has been infected with the influenza virus. If it is not a viral infection and the fever recurs, you should consider whether the baby has indigestion. Indigestion can cause gastrointestinal diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases can also cause fever. Observe whether the baby has diarrhea and vomiting, and whether the baby's bowel movements are normal. You can also do a routine bowel movement test for the baby. In addition, parents can recall whether the baby has eaten too much recently or eaten food that is difficult to digest. These can help the doctor diagnose the child's condition.

Sometimes, all necessary tests have been done, but the cause of the baby's high fever cannot be found. The baby must stay in the hospital for observation. Different babies have different physical constitutions, so the same treatment will result in different fever-reducing times, just like some babies have good physical constitutions and are less likely to get sick. Parents should not be blindly anxious. They should pay attention to indoor ventilation, measure the baby's body temperature regularly, and ensure the baby's water intake. Other things should be done according to the doctor's advice.

Precautions

One of the more obvious symptoms of baby's food accumulation is bad breath. If you find that your baby's mouth smells particularly bad and he has not had a bowel movement recently, it may be due to dryness or food accumulation.

It is not recommended to let the baby take medicine when the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees. It is best to use physical cooling to lower the body temperature. If the baby takes medicine frequently, he will become drug dependent, resulting in future illnesses requiring reliance on medicine to recover.
