Patient's question:
Recently, I have been having recurrent fever for the past month. The treatment worked for about ten days, but I started getting fever again yesterday. The blood tests show high levels and a bit of anemia. Could you please tell me what the cause might be and how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for elevated white blood cell count can be physiological or pathological. Physiological reasons mainly include intense exercise, breakfast, and post-shower, as well as physical labor, which can cause an increase in white blood cell count. These levels usually return to normal quickly after the influencing factors are removed.Pathological reasons for elevated white blood cell count are primarily due to local inflammation, infection stimulation, or blood-related diseases. In cases of physiological white blood cell elevation, there is no need to be overly concerned. Drinking more warm water, getting adequate rest, and adjusting daily routines can help. However, in cases of pathological white blood cell elevation, it is important to actively treat the underlying primary disease.
