It is not normal parameter, the polymorphs are marginally elevated.
One cannot however tell the severity of the child's illness without a physical exam conducted.
It is better to interprete result in the context of individual persons.
I suggest you request that blood film be examined tho look for malaria parasites.
Cheers.
