Question
Our infant has had consistently high white blood cell counts since birth, and they often have fever symptoms. How should we handle the situation of persistent high white blood cell counts in infants?
Answer
The exact cause is still undetermined, and it is recommended to continue with anti-inflammatory treatment. According to the description, the high white blood cell count in the infant indicates an inflammatory response in the body’s memory cells. Parents should take the child to a pediatrician for regular examination and treatment. The primary task is to determine the site of inflammation for targeted treatment. It is suggested to check the white blood cell count every three days; if the numbers have not decreased, further investigation is needed. In terms of diet, it is recommended to stick to light and easy-to-digest foods.
