What should I do if my child has diarrhea and high platelet and lymphocyte counts?

Children with diarrhea have high platelets, that is, high lymphocytes, which may be caused by viral colds, gastrointestinal colds, acute gastroenteritis, etc. Parents can cooperate with doctors through oral medications and intravenous injections.

1. Viral cold:

Viral cold refers to an upper respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Patients may experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, fever, dry throat, and sore throat. When the virus invades the gastrointestinal mucosa, it can easily cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, thereby awakening the body's immune function. During a routine blood test, platelets and lymphocytes are high. Parents can take antiviral drugs such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid, and Lanqin Oral Liquid as prescribed by the doctor.

2. Gastrointestinal cold:

Gastrointestinal colds are usually gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by viral infection, with clinical manifestations such as fever, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating. Viruses can cause immune responses in the body, and routine blood tests show elevated platelets and lymphocytes. Parents can give their children oseltamivir phosphate granules, acyclovir tablets, valacyclovir hydrochloride granules and other drugs according to the doctor's advice. If diarrhea is severe, it can be relieved by taking montmorillonite powder, bifidobacterium triple live bacteria powder and other drugs.

3. Acute gastroenteritis:

Acute gastroenteritis refers to an acute inflammatory reaction of the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by a variety of reasons, which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension and other symptoms. Parents can take Bacillus subtilis live bacteria granules, cefaclor granules, domperidone tablets and other drugs for combined treatment according to the doctor's advice. If necessary, they also need to undergo fluid replacement therapy, such as intravenous sodium citrate injection, potassium chloride injection, etc., to prevent dehydration and water and electrolyte disorders.

In addition to the more common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by children's rash. When parents cannot clarify the cause independently, they should take their children to the hospital as soon as possible.
