Patient's question:
What medications should I take if my white blood cell count is low? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Children have a weaker ability to resist diseases and may exhibit a greater and faster response compared to adults. Some viral or bacterial infections can cause a decrease in white blood cells in the body; taking certain medications can also lead to this condition. It is recommended to temporarily stop both types of medications, especially paracetamol. Have a blood test repeated twice within a week, and it will generally return to normal. Additionally, when administering medications to children, it is crucial to pay attention to contraindications and adverse reactions, and take the medications and dosages as prescribed by the doctor.
