Hi.. The blood report of your child shows increased polymorphs and raised wbc count. It suggests that their is some ongoing inflammatory process in the body. As the child has responded to the treatment you need not worry much about the reports. After all we treat the patients and not the reports. Reports will just give us some more clues. So at present I would suggest that you need not worry about the report
