Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your daughter has urinary tract infection and it caused septicemia. Septicemia leads to high wbc count with lethargy and loss of appetite.
She need to take higher antibiotics like cephalosporine or levofloxacin. Drink plenty of water. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
