Neutrophils blood test

@M.J thanks, it did come back high and I had never been tested for it before or it wasn’t concerning before. So just getting ahead of myself to see what the doctor may do from here on out..
Hope everything goes ok! They will likely do more blood tests/more testing.
I had a high blood count for this after birth but I had an infection room so this is why. It's something that's fluctuates a lot so I'm sure it will go down. It usually indicates an infection. Have you had a dental check up recently?
@Mitra I had my baby in December so I doubt it may be that ? But good to know it happens after birth too or it could happen… no new dental work recently .-.
@Mirna I wouldn't worry about it. When I mentioned it to my doctor they weren't concerned. Please update us on what your doctor says about the possible cause! X
I used to be a lab tech - neutrophils become elevated during a bacterial infection!
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell, they’re part of the immune system and fight off illness/infection. Since you keep getting sick they are trying to determine the reasoning behind it. So they probably just want to make sure your neutrophil count is within normal range.
