Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,There is no means of improving the white blood cells.White blood cells are disease fighting cells of our body and they increase or decrease in case of infections or conditions wherein the white blood cells are exhausted.Thus, it is important to know the differential count of the white blood cells to assess which component of white blood cells in depressed.Further management can be planned after clinical assessment and relevant investigations.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
