Question
A 3-year-old child has elevated white blood cell and lymphocyte counts. How should treatment be approached? Are there any effective solutions?
Answer
It is recommended that you undergo another routine blood test. If the results still show elevated white blood cell and lymphocyte counts, further investigation is needed. Do not over worry, as initial test results may contain errors. Consider retesting, as elevated lymphocyte counts may be associated with tuberculosis, but the total count is very high without accompanying other inflammatory signs. Is the child experiencing any discomfort? Are their appetite and development normal in everyday life?
