Recurring Fever in 2.5 year old boy
My child has been suffering from recurring fever for the past 1 month. 1st March, 12th March, 20th March, 25th March ... Fever went away completely and came again ... At the time of writing this it feels that his head is a little warm.
I have attached the screenshots of CBC and Peripheral smear test ... I have also asked the doctor whether this is something dangerous ... He is saying because of weak immunity and changing seasons he is becoming susceptible to viruses and other infections ... He has started multivitamins, vitamin d and iron supplements for 6 months ... As of now we are awaiting blood culture reports... Kindly guide
