Patient's question:
Girl, 4 years old, was tested for blood due to stomach pain and found to have a white blood cell count of 28,000. What could be the cause, and what illness might it be?Doctor's answer:
It may be related to a bacterial infection. It is recommended that you undergo an ultrasound examination to check the abdominal lymph nodes, appendix, etc., to identify the focus of infection. Ceftriaxone can be used for treatment. If there are no symptoms in this case, it is advised to have a blood routine test at intervals. Normal people may have slightly elevated white blood cell counts. Drink more water, get adequate rest, avoid staying up late, maintain a light diet, eat less spicy and other irritating foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. If there are no discomfort symptoms, you can first wait and see.
