Patient's question:
My son is four years old. The blood test showed WBC around 16,000, with no signs of inflammation. Could you please ask the expert if there are any concerns?Doctor's answer:
If it is a newborn, this level is normal. If it is not a newborn, it is still considered possible to have an infection, perhaps just not showing symptoms. Could you please provide the exact age or number of months of the child? The normal range for white blood cells is 4 to 10. A level above 10 indicates a bacterial infection, while a level below 4 suggests a viral infection. It is recommended to treat the cause, stay hydrated, and seek examination and treatment at a regular and professional hospital.
