Patient's question:
A 10-year-old boy has high total white blood cell count. The child has been in this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to determine the cause and identify the root of the problem before "treating the symptoms." It may be a bacterial infection. Active antibiotic treatment should be administered. Additional X-rays and blood tests should be conducted to check for lung infections. The test results indicate that the child has respiratory inflammation. Based on the classification of white blood cells, it suggests a bacterial infection. Chest X-rays should be performed on the child, followed by a recheck of the blood test. If the child has phlegm, sputum culture and drug sensitivity tests can be conducted, which will help guide clinical medication.
