Why does a child have high white blood cell count and repeated fever?

If a child has recurring high fever and goes to the hospital for a check-up and finds that the white blood cell count is high, you must pay close attention to it, because this may be an infection, the most common of which is a viral infection. At this time, you must closely observe the child's other symptoms, because the infection can cause some inflammation in the body, so you must treat the specific infectious inflammation. In addition, what other causes may cause the above symptoms?

What happens if my baby’s white blood cell count is high?

When my child was six months old, a blood test showed that the total white blood cell count was high. The routine blood test for children of different age groups is different. The younger the age, the higher the routine blood test value. The reference range of the test report is compared with the results of adults, so it is on the higher side.

Leukocytosis is usually caused by bacterial infection.

Guidance:

Your baby may have a cold that caused pharyngitis or tonsillitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment and use antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor.

A high white blood cell count indicates an inflammatory infection.

Guidance:

The neutrophil count in the white blood cell classification was decreased, while the lymphocyte count was high, indicating that the inflammatory infection was not caused by bacteria but by a viral infection.

In addition to white blood cells, what other abnormal values ​​are there?

Guidance:

Has your baby had a cold or diarrhea recently? If there is no inflammation, it means he is getting angry. It is recommended that your baby drink more water.

Common causes of elevated white blood cell counts:

1. The body is fighting infection and needs more white blood cells.

2. Some drugs can increase white blood cell count.

3. Problems with the bone marrow cause an increase in the production of white blood cells.

4. Some immune diseases can increase the production of white blood cells.

Some specific diseases that can cause elevated white blood cell counts include:

Allergies (especially severe allergic reactions);

leukemia;

Drugs: Hormones;

Infection: Bacteria and viruses;

Polycythemia;

Rheumatoid arthritis;

smoke;

Tension and stress,

Tuberculosis, etc.

If a child's white blood cell count is high in a routine blood test, this indicates changes caused by an acute bacterial infection, and antibiotics are needed for anti-inflammatory treatment. Generally, if the temperature is slightly elevated, you can take azithromycin or cefaclor capsules orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the temperature is severely elevated, you can go to the hospital for infusion treatment to recover, which is usually recoverable.
