Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Bilster ,throat Infection And Sinus Infection?
my daughter is 16 years old. She has been getting infections often for over 1 year now. (at least 2 times/month). She s had skin infections from a blister, her tonge has swelled up, throat infections, bladder infections, sinus infections etc. She seems to always be on antibiotics. Her family doctor has sent her through to a hemotologist who did more bloodwork on her but although everyone agrees that her white cell count is not normal (low) nobody can seem to tell us if there is an underlying cause of this. Up to age 15 she was rarely ill.
Hello Low immunity is the main cause of recurrent infection ,while decrease level of white blood cells is an indication that patient have low immunity . This thing is proved by hematologist ( as you mentioned in the query that she is having low W B C). As diagnosis is confirmed so please get in bone marrow examination to find out exact reason of such low count. Consult a physician and get his opinion.
