Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 We just got a blood level report back and my son's white blood cell and red blood cell counts are low. He's gotten so many CBCs done in his little 5 years of life and these have never showed low like this. I'm so darn concerned and don't have an appt w/ Dr. G for a couple weeks (and they seem swamped at the office right now)., Please, can anyone tell me if this is normal..he started Valtrex about 4 weeks ago, does this happen?? We just started Nizoral 2 nights ago and so I don't know if that's good or if I'm going to further affect them. Any thoughts?? Thanks kathi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hey Kathi, To me that is just weird. I would definitely hound the office until they could get back to you. Wondering if it was just a " bad stick " . Numbers like that can change dramatically from day to day. Weird that he would have globally low numbers. Normally either or. How low are his numbers? Do you have access to his past results to see how much of a change there has been? Are the. numbers critical or just low? What about his hemoglobin, was that checked? Sorry, Liam had to go through something else didn't he? Poor guy. Has he been drinking enough? Is it possible he is drinking too much or too little? Sometimes when people take in a lot of fluid their blood gets diluted. That is normally I.V. fluids though. Hmm, strange. Sorry I can't think of more reasons why his numbers would be off. > > We just got a blood level report back and my son's white blood cell and red > blood cell counts are low.
