I have a 12 yr old son who passed out white blood count is 25,000. all tests were normal, on antibiotics and is now 17,900. do i worry?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Infection is not a common cause of syncope in children. His high WBC count may not be directly related to this incident.
