Question
What measures should be taken if a child’s white blood cell count is elevated? How should nursing and dietary adjustments be handled in this situation?
Answer
If a child shows an elevated white blood cell count, it may be due to a bacterial infection, and it is recommended to actively pursue antibacterial treatment. Based on the description, the child may be suffering from a bacterial infection, necessitating timely use of antibiotic medications for symptomatic treatment. It is advised to continue following medical instructions for anti-inflammatory treatment, as recurrent fever may be a sign of insufficient infection control and requires ongoing medication. At the same time, attention should be paid to adequate rest, avoiding overexertion, and it is recommended to consume more fruits and vegetables.
