What should I do if high blood test results recur repeatedly?

High blood count is a common symptom when infants and children are sick, because the child's blood count will immediately rise if the child has a slight fever, infection, inflammation, etc. This problem often bothers parents. When their children are not feeling well, parents will be more anxious than their children. In fact, preventing high blood counts is to prevent children from getting sick and enhance their resistance. Without viruses invading the body, the child will naturally be in good health. Some children have recurrent high blood counts. What should we do at this time?

High blood items: High blood items mean high white blood cell count in routine blood test, mainly high proportion of neutrophils in white blood cells; routine urine white blood cell count refers to the white blood cells among the three types of cells in routine urine test. 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.

Fever symptoms: In the early stages of a child's fever, symptoms include a red face, hot forehead, cold hands and feet, and poor spirits. In addition, there are symptoms of various systems, such as runny nose, sore throat, and cough in respiratory tract infections, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea in gastroenteritis.

Diarrhea. Urinary tract infection may cause frequent urination, painful urination, and low back pain, while the accompanying symptoms of various systems in infants are atypical, and may only include anorexia, vomiting, and diarrhea. There are many other diseases that can cause fever, and parents should pay attention to them.

Observe the pattern of your child's fever and accompanying symptoms, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. The normal body temperature of the human body is 36-37℃, 37-38℃ is a low fever, 38-39℃ is a moderate fever, above 39℃ is a high fever, and above 40℃ is an extremely high fever.

Daily precautions for taking care of your baby: Drink more water. Drinking water helps to sweat and dissipate heat, lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the child's body. Drinking water is not limited to plain water. You can let your child drink some of his or her favorite fruit juice, beverages, etc. to replenish water and vitamins, or drink more soup. When a child is sick and has no appetite, you can let him/her eat some cake, tofu, etc. Pay attention to keeping warm. Insulation does not mean the warmer the better. When your child has a fever, remember not to let him dress in too many clothes or cover him with too thick a quilt. This traditional method of "covering up sweat" is not conducive to dissipating heat and reducing fever. Just let the child wear one more piece of clothing than normal adults. For example, when adults wear short sleeves, the child can wear long sleeves. When adults wear one long skirt, the child can wear two pieces. Take a warm shower. Some mothers worry that giving their children a bath while they have a fever will aggravate the symptoms. After a fever, you sweat a lot. If you don't keep clean, it is easy to cause infection from other germs, so taking a shower is necessary, but you should use warm water.

Water: The best water temperature is 38-39℃.
