What should I do if my white blood cell count is a bit low?

Patient's question:

Today when I took my child to the hospital for a check-up, the results said that the child's white blood cell count was a bit low. What should I do to make the child's white blood cells normal?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with leukopenia may be asymptomatic or have non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, poor appetite, and reduced physical strength, along with a tendency to be more susceptible to infections. Whether or not they have infections depends on the degree of granulocytopenia.
Leukopenia: Generally, patients may experience non-specific symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, weakness in limbs, reduced appetite, low-grade fever, and insomnia. It is best to avoid public places to prevent respiratory infections. Avoid taking medications that can cause bone marrow damage or leukopenia.
