Question
The child’s white blood cell count is 0.2, while the normal range is 0.4 to 0.6. Is this significantly low? Isn’t the normal range for white blood cells between 4 and 10?
Answer
Generally speaking, a low white blood cell count may indicate a weaker immune system. The normal range for white blood cells is indeed between 4 and 10, and a count of 0.2 is indeed low. In this case, if the child does not have any other discomfort, there is usually no need for special treatment. The main focus is to observe the child’s condition. If there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you and your child a speedy recovery!
