When performing a blood routine test on a baby, if there is an increase in white blood cells, it indicates that there is a problem with the body's health and it is mostly related to inflammation. Moreover, the number of white blood cells in the body also indicates the severity of this condition. So, is it serious to check the baby's white blood cell count of 16.63?
The normal value of white blood cells in the body is generally 4-10. If the baby's white blood cell count is 16.63 during the examination, it is relatively severe. This test result indicates bacterial infection, so further examination should be conducted to determine the cause and receive anti infection treatment.
In addition, babies have weak physical resistance and are prone to various diseases caused by bacterial infections, such as bacterial colds, childhood pneumonia, acute enteritis, etc. Some parents believe that using antibiotics can effectively alleviate symptoms and often mistakenly believe that antibiotics belong to anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, antibiotics do not belong to the concept of anti-inflammatory drugs, especially as excessive use of antibiotics can weaken a baby's resistance, and such drugs often have some side effects. Therefore, it is not advisable to use drugs for treatment on one's own.
After a preliminary examination in the hospital, it should be found that the white blood cell value is high. Follow the guidance and advice given by the doctor for further examination and diagnosis, and then use the medication prescribed by the doctor for standardized treatment. Especially for some sensitive antibiotics used in certain diseases, it is necessary to achieve sufficient dosage and treatment course, without excessive or arbitrary reduction, in order to avoid not achieving good treatment results.
