Why is the white blood cell and neutrophil count low in a 7-year-old boy?

Patient's question:

My child has had low white blood cell and neutrophil counts for two years. He has also undergone multiple tests: the lowest white blood cell count (WBC) was 2,000 (during each high fever), and the highest was 5,000 (after taking silymarin for 25 days).

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you. The reduction in white blood cells is likely due to viral infections and the use of antibiotics, among other factors. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat viral infections, and it can also help raise white blood cell levels. There is no need for further electronic instrument tests. Maintain good lifestyle habits, take good care of the child, and follow a balanced and scientific diet. Avoid picky eating. Schedule regular follow-up appointments. Wishing you a speedy recovery and healthy growth.
