Patient's question:
Baby's trace element test shows white blood cells at 250, and the doctor said it's high. I want to ask if high white blood cells indicate a serious health issue, but the baby doesn't seem sick? Or could it be that the high results are due to the baby wearing too many clothes and sweating a lot during the test? Should I have him undergo further tests?Doctor's answer:
How high is 19 high? Antibiotic treatment can continue. First, how high is high white blood cell count? As long as it's not in the tens of thousands, there's no major problem. A white blood cell count over 10,000 is generally considered high, and this type of high white blood cell count is often caused by infection or inflammation. In terms of diet, it's beneficial for recovery to eat light meals. You can consult a doctor on this matter.
