Question
How does a mercury sphygmomanometer determine hypertension? Is a 7-month-old baby’s WBC value of 22.1 normal?
Answer
Children may have elevated white blood cell counts due to infections. However, a WBC value of 22.1 alone should not be overly concerning, but the possibility of decreased platelets needs to be ruled out. Moreover, there are many factors that can cause pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, perform gastrointestinal depressurize, and cultivate good hygiene habits. Children should follow a reasonable diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
