Patient's question:
Will a child with high white blood cell count be in trouble? The child has been in this condition for a while, and I dare not give them medicine. Please give some advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Exclude children with severe crying and the difference between morning and afternoon, and measure after taking the medicine. Then analyze the reasons. Parents should not be overly anxious. Generally speaking, an increase in white blood cells is common in acute bacterial infections, severe tissue damage, heavy bleeding, poisoning, and leukemia, etc. Severe crying in children can cause high white blood cell counts, higher in the afternoon than in the morning, sometimes even double the normal level. It is normal for children's white blood cell counts to be higher than adults', but for children under 3, the normal range is below 12.
