Question
If a baby has a high lymphocyte ratio, how can it be reduced? Does this condition require hospital treatment? How long does it usually take to recover?
Answer
A baby’s lymphocyte percentage is higher than that of adults, which is a normal physiological phenomenon that will gradually decrease with age. Generally, by the age of 4 to 6, the ratio of lymphocytes to granulocytes will reach 50 to 50, while in adults, the ratio is between 20% and 40%. There is no need for special treatment in this case; just lead a normal life, and by the age of 8, the lymphocyte ratio will naturally decrease. If the lymphocyte ratio is low, it may indicate a bacterial infection and further examination should be considered.
