Patient's question:

My child is six years old, and during the physical examination, the white blood cell count was low. My six-and-a-half-year-old son was found to have low white blood cell count during the physical examination.

Doctor's answer:

Commonly associated with viral infections and minor Gram-negative bacterial infections, and occasionally observed after blood diseases or radiation or chemotherapy. If a six-year-old child is found to have low white blood cells, it is necessary to consult the hematology department of the hospital to check if they are taking anti-inflammatory drugs regularly. The current medication regimen should be reviewed, and the medication should be stopped immediately. This is generally considered a result of weakened immunity, and more physical exercise should be engaged in. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
