Patient's question:
The male baby is two and a half months old. He has had some diarrhea for the past two days. Why is the lymphocyte count a little high in the blood test?Doctor's answer:
If it's just a slight increase in lymphocytes, first and foremost, consider viral infection causing nausea and vomiting. It's recommended to give the child probiotics to alleviate the symptoms. I vaguely remember reminding the child to follow a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and prevent dehydration, which is also quite important. Maintain good ventilation in the room, breastfeed the child in small amounts and multiple times. If providing complementary foods, avoid raw and cold foods, and avoid meat during these days of diarrhea.
