Patient's question:
Burning, but no runny nose, hiccups, coughing. At first, there was a bit of phlegm in the throat, which later disappeared. Highest temperature: 38.9. Blood test shows white blood cells at 3.81, which is higher than the normal value. Many other results are also above the normal value, but the heart and lungs are normal. At night...Doctor's answer:
The normal value of white blood cells is generally between 11-12. Based on the situation you described, low white blood cell count suggests that the child has a weakened immune system. However, it is not necessarily significant, and there could be measurement errors. Do you know if the hemoglobin is low? Besides red blood cell series, how are the other parameters? If all are low, it may indicate that the child has a weakened immune system and malnutrition anemia.Recommendations:
According to the child's condition, it is recommended not to seek Western medical treatment, especially antibiotics. Instead, actively conduct relevant examinations to rule out other acute and severe diseases in the child.
If other acute and severe diseases are ruled out, and the child's immune system is considered weak, it is advised to first use traditional Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and treatment to suppress the child's fever and prevent brain damage.
After the child fully recovers, it is recommended to give them Yu Ping Feng oral liquid or Tong Kang tablets to boost their immunity. Additionally, if anemia is present, it is suggested to give the child Qi Zao Granules.
Avoid exposure to cold wind and prevent fever. Drink plenty of water to ensure smooth bowel movements.
