Question
What should be done if a child has high blood counts?
Answer
High blood counts typically refer to a white blood cell count that exceeds the normal range, which may be caused by infections, trauma, or blood diseases. Even with normal blood counts, infections can still occur, such as when the immune system is weakened, or viral infections can sometimes lead to normal blood counts. After a diagnosis of a blood disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment and take measures to reduce stress, while also cultivating good hygiene habits. Children need to maintain a reasonable diet and avoid eating irritating and cold foods.
