Suggest Treatment For A Low WBC Count In A 10 Year Old
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have a 10-year old son and his doctor just told me that his white blood count is low. She didn t give me the exact number, but suggested I schedule an appointment with his pediatrician. Is this a serious condition? What is the cause? He has been on many medications to manage his ADHD. I m very worried.

Hi,
Do not worry, low WBC count is a common thing in children and adults also, it indicates low immunity, because of many things, the most common is recurrent infection (flu), nothing serious.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
