Question
I checked my white blood cell count today and it was 242, but the standard is 0-25. I don’t feel anything at all. I’ve had a slight urinary tract infection recently. How much higher is this value, and what should I do about a high white blood cell count?
Answer
The white blood cell test is a non-specific test that can only be used as a reference. Generally, it indicates inflammation. However, vomiting or crying can also cause it to rise. Generally speaking, children’s lymph ratios are higher than adults, which is normal, and the so-called reference range is based on adults. Eat more nutritious foods to enhance your resistance. Pay attention to rest. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, and drink plenty of water. It is recommended that you should best follow the advice of a doctor for treatment.
