Question
I took my child to the doctor today and found that the white blood cell count in the blood test was slightly elevated, but there were no abnormal symptoms. How should I handle this?
Answer
For a 5-month-old baby, an elevated white blood cell count is normal and there is no need to worry. Fast growth may be due to labial adhesion, which requires surgical treatment. Don’t worry, if the white blood cell count returns to normal after treatment and there are no other symptoms, but if it continues to increase, it is recommended to check every three days. If it continues to increase, a check-up for blood system diseases is needed.
