What should I do if a child has high blood count?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A high blood count generally refers to a white blood cell count in a complete blood count that exceeds the normal range for children, which is 60,000-100,000. Many factors can cause an increase in white blood cell count, such as infections, injuries, blood diseases, etc. A normal blood count may sometimes still indicate the presence of an infection, such as when the immune system is too weak to respond. Viral infections can sometimes be normal, such as HBV infection.
