Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text:

Doctor's answer:

High white blood cell count, high neutrophil ratio indicate an infection. After symptomatic treatment for a period, a follow-up check can be done. The blood sample ratio of children is different from that of adults, and it is not until around the age of 8 that it becomes similar to that of adults. It is not leukemia or anemia; elevated white blood cells indicate a bacterial infection in the body. It is best to go to the hospital for intravenous infusion to fight infection for several days, and it will improve. At the same time, it is also necessary to enhance the body's immunity, which requires regular aerobic exercise, such as hiking, swimming, etc. 30-40 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise every day helps to enhance resistance.
