Question
Today, we took the baby to the hospital for a physical check-up, and the routine blood test results showed that the white blood cell count was slightly elevated, but the baby showed no signs of any abnormalities. What should we do?
Answer
Your child is 5 months old, and an elevated white blood cell count falls within the normal range and does not require excessive concern. As for the faster growth of the baby’s labia minora, it may be due to labial adhesion, which can be resolved through a simple surgical procedure. Rest assured. If after systematic treatment, the white blood cell count returns to normal levels and there are no other symptoms but an increase, we recommend continuing the treatment and undergoing a check-up every three days. If the white blood cell count continues to rise, we will suggest checking for blood system diseases.
