Patient's question:
Is it normal for children to have higher white blood cell counts than adults? Can they take medication? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
White blood cell count increase could be due to reasons such as inflammatory infection, flu, viral infection, etc. A check-up can determine the cause and help identify the issue early for recovery. For children aged one to two, the normal range for WBC is 12, and for those aged four to five, it is 11.8, which is slightly higher. Therefore, a WBC of 14 now indicates an elevated white blood cell count, consistent with the doctor's diagnosis. Identifying the focus of infection and timely anti-inflammatory treatment is advisable.
