Question
About ten days ago, my child had a cold with fever symptoms and has now recovered. However, the recent two-day blood test shows a low white blood cell count. What could be the cause?
Answer
Regarding your child’s routine blood test results, were white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels also tested? Why were Erythropoietin and B4 administered? Was it due to the low white blood cell count? It is recommended that you have a check-up after taking the medication. The fluctuation of white blood cell count is usually closely related to the child’s immunity. It is suggested that you observe your child’s condition, and if the medication control is not effective, adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner. As for the use of antibiotics, it needs to be decided based on the child’s specific situation.
