Question
A friend’s baby has consistently high white blood cell counts and often gets a fever. How should this be handled?
Answer
Elevated white blood cell counts and increased neutrophil ratios may indicate an infection. It is recommended to undergo symptomatic treatment for a period of time and then have a follow-up to rule out leukemia and anemia. Methods to boost immunity include aerobic exercises such as hiking, swimming, etc., with 30 to 40 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise daily to enhance resistance. Additionally, hospital intravenous anti-infection treatment for a few days can also be helpful.
