High white blood cells can be seen in infectious diseases, rheumatic diseases or hematologic diseases. If high white blood cells are caused by a bacterial infection, taking amoxicillin or cephalosporin is usually more effective. As for rheumatic and hematologic disorders, it is not appropriate to take either of these antibiotics.
Amoxicillin and cephalosporin are actually a large class of drugs, both are beta-lactams, and the antibacterial spectrum is similar, both are used for bacterial infections anti-infective treatment.
Therefore, if high white blood cells are caused by bacterial infection, different drugs can be used according to the site of infection. For bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, amoxicillin or cefradine can be taken orally. For urinary tract infections, oral levofloxacin can be used. If the effect is not good, you need to improve the drug sensitivity test to see if there is drug resistance.
However, it should be noted that there are other reasons for high white blood cells, such as rheumatic diseases, as well as hematologic diseases, etc., which are not suitable for amoxicillin or cephalosporin.
Therefore, if you find high white blood cells, the doctor should clarify the cause of high white blood cells, and then carry out targeted medication, do not blindly take antibiotics on your own, so as not to cause delays in the condition.
