Suggest Ways To Increase WBC Count
Question: I AM A BLACK MALE ,AGE 65 I HAVE LOW WHITE CELL COUNT
Brief Answer:
No need to worry unless you are symptomatic.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I would like to ask if you are facing any specific health issues. Unless you have fever and other problems we would not really bother about a low WBC count. A viral infection often results in low WBC counts and makes you a bit vulnerable to infections. But there is no reason to panic unless you are down with fever. In case fever occurs, use of paracetamol or acetamiophen for fever reduction is the mainstay of treatment.
I would recommend you to take plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables daily. They contain antioxidants and help in boosting the immunity.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
