Administration Method for White Blood Cell-Boosting Injections
Disease description:
I have been in a particularly bad mental state recently, and my doctor said it is caused by tuberculosis bacteria. I want to receive white blood cell boosting injections (leukocyte-increasing injections). What is the method for administering these injections?

The injection methods for white blood cell-increasing needles mainly include the following:
1. **Subcutaneous Injection**: This is the most commonly used injection method. The injection site is typically selected at the lower edge of the deltoid muscle on the outer side of the upper arm, in the abdominal area 2 cm away from the navel (within 5 cm), or on the outer sides of the buttocks or thighs.
2. **Intravenous Injection**: The medication enters the bloodstream directly through the circulatory system, thereby increasing the level of granulocytes in the body. However, intravenous injections should be performed by professional medical personnel.
3. **Intramuscular Injection**: Although less commonly used for white blood cell-increasing needles, this method may be employed in certain cases. Intramuscular injections typically deliver the medication into muscle tissues such as the gluteus maximus.
Administration of white blood cell-increasing needles should be performed by qualified physicians or nurses in a formal medical facility to ensure safety and effectiveness.
