Question
What are the effects of a white blood cell count over 15.6? My child has been experiencing this for a long time, and I am very worried. I am afraid it might become severe. Please give me some advice.
Answer
There is no need to worry; just continue to observe. First, you should determine the cause and find out where the problem lies before starting treatment. The blood test shows an elevated white blood cell count of 15.5, and the urine test also shows a high white blood cell count, indicating that it may be caused by inflammation and infection. The oral antibiotic treatment has not been effective, so it is recommended to consider intravenous therapy. At the same time, drinking plenty of water can promote body metabolism and shorten the healing time of inflammation and infection. It is recommended to continue to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
