Question

The baby is just 25 days old, and a few days ago, a detailed blood check was done, showing a decrease in red blood cells and an increase in white blood cells. Is there any problem? What has been the treatment situation and effectiveness? Are there any precautions to take?

Answer

If the baby has no other symptoms, this may be normal. Newborns, as they build their own immune system, may experience fluctuations in white blood cell counts. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. However, if the baby has other symptoms, it is recommended that you contact a doctor immediately. Please provide the baby’s symptoms, diet, sleep, and defecation situations, as well as the specific counts of red and white blood cells.
