My 2 yrs. Old baby girl has low red blood and white blood cells should I worry about it. She has a fever right now. Please help me Mr. And Ms. Doctor, thank you.

Question

Having a higher or lower number of wbcs than normal may indicate an underlying condition. A wbc count can detect hidden infections within your body and alert doctors to undiagnosed medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and blood disorders. The medical term for too few red blood cells or a low red blood cell count is anemia. This term is attributed to a low quantity of hemoglobin in the blood as well. Too many red blood cells or a high red blood cell count is known as polycythemia. There are different types of anemia and polycythemia which may be due to various causes. Depending on the type, there may also be other changes of the red blood cells in the body like its shape, size, oxygen carrying capacity of individual cells and even its color. A deficiency of red blood cells will affect the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as well as the viscosity of blood. You may need a right treatment for your baby.
