What is the reason for slightly low white blood cells?

Patient's question:

Child's blood cell analysis report
A six-month-old child had a fever and went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor didn't take the temperature but directly conducted a blood cell analysis report and prescribed medication without explaining what was wrong. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the main issue is a slightly low white blood cell count, which is more common in viral infections. These infections usually have no effective treatment and can typically be recovered through the body's own resistance. As for the high lymphocyte ratio and low hemoglobin levels, these are all physiological changes in children and are not abnormal. The so-called high blood count refers to an elevated white blood cell system, indicating the presence of an infectious disease. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular and professional hospital.
