What to do if your white blood cell count is low

In fact, the white blood cell count in the human body is like a powerful field army. They have the ability to eliminate invading "enemies" and they are always protecting people's bodies from viruses, bacteria, etc. However, when the white blood cell count in people's bodies is too low, the combat effectiveness of the field troops will be weakened, which will weaken the body's ability to resist viruses and bacteria. The body will be easily invaded by bacteria and viruses and suffer from various infections.

Leukopenia refers to the persistent drop in peripheral blood white blood cell count below a certain value. The disease can occur at any season, and there is no significant difference in the incidence between men and women. In recent years, the incidence of low white blood cell count has been increasing, with the main manifestations being weakness, fever, sore throat, etc. When the white blood cell count is severely reduced, urgent medical treatment is required. If the reduction is too obvious, the bacteria may spread rapidly when the body completely or fundamentally loses its resistance, and enter the bloodstream to cause sepsis, which may even be life-threatening. Therefore, patients should pay more attention to all aspects of life to avoid bacterial invasion and aggravation of the condition.
