What to do if your child has high blood test results

The so-called high blood items refer to the high white blood cell count in the routine blood examination and the high neutrophil count in the white blood cells. Generally, a small amount of white blood cells is normal in a routine urine test, but if there are too many, it means there is a certain inflammation, such as cystitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis, or renal tuberculosis, etc. When glomerulonephritis occurs, the number of white blood cells in the urine will increase significantly. If a child's blood count is high, it is important to check it out in time to understand the cause of the infection, and then actively carry out anti-infection treatment to avoid causing greater harm to the child's health.

High blood items mean high white blood cell count in routine blood tests, mainly a high proportion of neutrophils in the white blood cells; it is usually caused by bacterial infection and can be easily cured with antibiotics.

1. The child's fever is caused by infection in the body. If the blood count is elevated, it indicates that the infection is more serious, usually caused by a viral infection. Sometimes bacterial infection occurs. If the blood count is significantly elevated, it indicates a bacterial infection.

2. Fever will not cause high blood count. The order of understanding should be: there is an infection in the body, so fever occurs. The elevated blood count is due to the increase in white blood cells in the child's body in order to produce an immune response to bacteria and viruses.

The normal blood count for a 3.6-month-old baby is around 10,000. If the child drinks less water when the blood is drawn, the blood pressure may be slightly higher. The key is the need to analyze the white blood cell classification.

Guidance:

1. Based on the classification of white blood cells, we can preliminarily determine whether it is a bacterial or viral infection. Generally, an increase in neutrophils indicates a bacterial infection, and antibacterial drugs such as amoxicillin granules need to be given. If the lymph is elevated, ribavirin granules should be used to fight the virus.

2. If there is no inflammation in the body, there will be no fever. It is recommended that children drink more water and take antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen orally if the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees.

Urinalysis white blood cell test is a test to check the white blood cells among the three types of cells in urine routine examination. Normal urine may contain a small amount of white blood cells. Generally, the number of white blood cells per high-power field (HP) of centrifuged urine is 1 to 2, which is still normal. If there are more than 5 white blood cells per high-power field, it is called microscopic pyuria. Microscopic pyuria indicates purulent inflammation of the urethra, such as pyelonephritis, cystitis or urethritis, renal tuberculosis, etc. In glomerulonephritis, the number of white blood cells in the urine may also increase slightly.
