Patient's question:
I've been feeling that my white blood cell count in my blood test has been a bit high recently. I sometimes feel my whole body is weak, and my mental state isn't very good either. I don't know what to do now. So, I'd like to ask everyone, what could be the reason for elevated white blood cell count in a blood test?Doctor's answer:
White blood cell count elevated in a complete blood count generally indicates inflammation, bacterial infection, or acute stress, which can also cause an increase in white blood cells. It is recommended to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, participate in functional exercises, and improve the body's immunity. It is advised to continue comprehensive tests for related inflammatory indicators at a regular hospital and undergo bone marrow puncture if necessary to identify the cause. Oral antibiotics can be taken to reduce white blood cell count. In severe cases, intravenous drip treatment is recommended.
