Patient's question:
3-year-old male baby's complete blood count shows high white blood cell count - must be given intravenous fluids? Tonsillitis, had half a day's time. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. No matter what kind of assistance: can I take Chinese medicine first without intravenous fluids?Doctor's answer:
Generally, normal white blood cell counts do not exceed 10.0. A count below 10.0 may suggest a possible bacterial infection, but white blood cell counts can also decrease during activity, diet, or crying. Currently, the baby has a decrease in blood cell counts but no fever symptoms. If the diet and mental state are stable, oral antibiotics can be temporarily administered without the need for intravenous fluids. Careful observation is required, and a follow-up blood test should be conducted after one week.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if the white blood cell count is high on a 3-year-old boy's blood test?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
