"Question My doctor has told me I have a low white blood cell count.  He said that this could be because I&amp;#039;ve had a lot of infections recently, and the reason for my infections could be due to low white blood cell count.  I would like to know how this is caused, what the treatments are and what implications it may have. I have read about hepatitis.  Is this anything to worry about? Answer The white cell count is sometimes lower after viral infections \u2013 flu and glandular fever in particular. It is not a cause for concern.  I suggest at this stage you take echinacea \u2013 a herbal product \u2013 that is good at raising the immune defences to viruses if taken for brief periods (don&amp;#039;t take it for more than a month).  You can get it at your local pharmacy. Yours sincerely The NetDoctor Medical Team  Other Qs &amp;amp;amp; As Blood test results Can we find out our blood group?
