Did the doctor say what was the infection for which the antibiotic was prescribed?

 

Customer replied947 days and 7 hours ago.

No, just recurrent cough and sore throat and an increased lymphocyte count. Question needs to be two- to three-page Word document.

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide you with a 2-3 page Word document. I will opt out.

I can tell you what the child has and you can write the 2-3 page word document with the references I supply you. Would that be okay? Becuase for a doctor to write this for you would be about 2 hours of our time and cost you around $200.

1. this child has leukemia, most likely acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL
2. next investigation would be a bone marrow biopsy, chest xray, renal ultrasound, testicular ultrasound, echocardiogram and EKG and lumbar puncture (prior to administration of chemo)
3. hemagloblin level would be low
4. Platelet level would be low
5. yes, there is some pain in the bones
6. Chemotherapy and possibly bone marrow transplant.
