Patient's question:
Hello, doctor. My son is 31 months old. He started fevering on Monday morning and only went to the hospital this morning. He received an injection and had blood drawn for tests. The results showed a white blood cell count of 3.8, which is below the normal low range, and a hemoglobin level of 10.2, also below the normal low range. Could you please tell me if this is serious and how I should supplement it?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for low white blood cell count, but 3.8 is generally normal. The hepatitis B surface antibody is related to having received the hepatitis B vaccine. However, I want to remind you that if the white blood cell count is low solely without any other physical discomfort, there is no need for special treatment. It can be said that there is no major issue. My suggestion is to rest well recently and appropriately increase nutrition that suits your body condition. I hope this explanation helps you.
