Dear Ms XXXXX
Totall Leucocyte count of 10,400 is normal and is not elevated. There is no cause for concern. It appears to be non-specific viral infection.
Are there any other complaints like
1. Excessive crying while passing urine
2. Any blood or mucous in stools
3. Any rash which has occurred over the body.
Any respiratory complaint like cough, running nose
4. Any aversion for light or bright light
5. Any refusal for feeds.
Presence of recurrent fever in the absence of any localizing signs of infection requires further investigation if the intensity of fever does not decrease.
Meftal- P suspension 2.5 ml whenever there is fever is worth trying.
