My daughter had been hospitalized from dengue but after four days, she had a fever once again, she also told us that she has a sore throat, so since his pedia is out for a conference, we decided to go to other pedia. He just gave her cefalexin and told us that she has a mild tonsillitis since her urinalysis is clear from infection, after 2 days of taking cefalexin, there is no improvement. She has already abdominal pain and chilling. So we decided to take her pedia, his pediatrician ordered urinalysis and Complete Blood Count (CBC) with platelet, and found out that there is urinary tract infection (UTI) so her pedia change her antibiotic from cefalexin to cefexime.
After 3 days of taking cefexime, nothing happen, she still have fever, stomach pain and chills so her pedia decided to admit her to the hospital and have several test to know the exact cause of fever. Her pediatrician ordered to have malaria test, typhoid fever test, pneumonia test, leukemia test since her white blood cell had elevated. The doctor order also to have urine and blood culture.
Thanks to God, her leukemia, typhoid fever, pneumonia and malaria test went negative but still she had stomach pain and chills. She had also an ultrasound and found out that her bladder is distended. Her pedia advised us to get a nephrologist, kidney specialist to determine the cause of distended bladder. The nephrologist confirms the cause of distended bladder is cystitis or bladder infection.
After 3 days of confinement, her urine is clear but her white blood cells in the blood is still elevated so her pedia decided to extent her hospitalization. Her pediatrician release her from hospital after 5 days and prescribed ciprofloxacin, 1/2 tablet every 12 hours up to 5 days, Ferlin for the treatment of anemia.
During follow-up, urine and blood culture results were negative meaning there is no bacteria growth. After 3 weeks, her pedia advised us to have CBC again. I just hope and pray that everything will be normal.
