What is the reason for high blood levels in children?

Children's health is a very important matter, and most health problems can be detected from routine blood tests. For example, in modern life, more and more children have high blood items. This is not a normal phenomenon, but a symptom that requires medical interpretation. Let's take a look at the reasons for high blood items in children. I hope everyone can understand this and actively find solutions.

High blood count refers to high white count, neutrophil and lymphocyte values in the blood routine test. The normal value of white blood cells in children is 4000-10000. High blood count generally refers to an increase in white blood cell count in a routine blood test, that is, the white blood cell count exceeds the normal range.

Many reasons can cause an increase in white blood cell count, such as infection, trauma, poisoning, malignant tumors, blood diseases, etc. As described by the mother above, the newborn baby's blood count reached 30,000, accompanied by symptoms such as low fever and spitting bubbles, which may be a lung infection. Therefore, the doctor will recommend hospitalization for observation and may do other tests for symptomatic treatment. 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, it can be preliminarily determined 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.
