Question

A 5-year-old child has been diagnosed with a low white blood cell count, and the parents are seeking medical advice.

Answer

For a 5-year-old child with a low white blood cell count, it is essential to conduct more in-depth examinations first. The current situation may be related to viral infection, and treatment mainly involves the use of traditional Chinese medicine. For families with more severe conditions or those who can afford it, considering the use of immunoglobulins may be an option. In addition, supportive treatment should be strengthened. Before considering leukemia, it is important to note that leukemia can also have other related symptoms. After this illness has healed, it is recommended to undergo an immune function test to explore the reasons for frequent colds.
