Hi Anoop,
You should ask for your reports so that you can take a second opinion.
In addition to CBC i.e. Complete Blood Count, you should also have following investigations:-
1. LFT
2. Test for Malaria
3. Typhoid test
4. Urine examination
Cefexime is an antibiotic and is used to treat bacterial infection.
Treatment can be planned after seeing the full reports and after medical examination.
Thanks.
