An elevated absolute lymphocyte count is commonly caused by viral infection. It is recommended to administer antiviral medication orally to the child, encourage frequent intake of warm water, and ensure the child avoids exposure to cold temperatures. The diet should be light and bland; windows should be opened regularly to maintain good indoor air circulation. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamins and high-quality protein will help improve nutritional status, enhance physical fitness, and boost the body’s immune resistance.
