Patient's question:
Is a high white blood cell count serious? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
White blood cell increase is originally a defensive response and plays an important role in defending against infections. However, if white blood cells abnormally proliferate due to some reason, it may lead to leukemia, causing the body to suffer from fever, secondary infections, anemia, bleeding, tissue necrosis, metabolic and functional disorders, and even life-threatening conditions. Children's white blood cell counts are also slightly higher than the standard of ordinary people, which should be nothing serious! Moreover, it's hard to explain clearly here! If you feel it's severe, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
