Hi,
I've gone through your query and I understand quite well your concern
Zedocef (Cefpodoxime) is a cephalosporin antiboitic with similar structure as that of penicillin. It is used in the treatment of certain bacterial infections in the body like urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted disease (gonorrhea), lung infection (pneumonia), kidney infection (pyelonephritis), sinusitis, skin or soft tissue Infection, inflammation of tonsils (tonsillitis), sore throat (pharyngitis), and upper respiratory tract infection.
CBP -complete blood picture, ESR- erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP- C reactive protein. These are blood tests to detect inflammation. Your child had fever, that's why your doctor has prescribed these blood tests.
C-reactive protein measures general levels of inflammation in the body.High levels of CRP are caused by infections. That's why your doctor has prescribed to your child this antibiotic, because this high level of CRP has shown that your child had infection( maybe a bacterial infection)
I suggesst you to stay calm, because there is nothing to be worried. To be sure repeat these blood tests again after several weeks. If she is cured, all the values will get normal again.

Hope this information will help you
