Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
the situation with which you went to hospital, the kids temperature has to be reduced first. Hence probably they went about giving an antibiotic. Blood test after am antibiotic is required if the kid didn't recover, if recovered then the reports might not be correct since antibiotics we're already given.
Hope I have answered your query.
