Question
The infant has an elevated white blood cell count, but there are no symptoms of cold or diarrhea, and the body temperature is normal. What treatment methods should be sought?
Answer
After birth, an infant’s white blood cell count gradually decreases, averaging 12X109/L at 1 week. An elevated white blood cell count may indicate inflammation in the body, and it is recommended to use antibiotics for treatment, while also drinking plenty of water, eating more vegetables, and maintaining a light diet. At the same time, pay attention to the neutrophil count; symptoms like heat stroke, sore throat, and colds can also lead to an elevated white blood cell count.
