How to Improve Your White Blood Cell Count

• 1). Get a blood test to measure your white blood cell count. This will serve as a baseline for improvement. Levels below 3,500 per micro-liter of blood are low and not normal, according to the Mayo Clinic.
  
  
• 2). Talk to your doctor about medications you can take specific to your condition. Some medications can stimulate white blood cell production. Your doctor may prescribe Neupogen, Neulasta or Flucanozole.
  
  
• 3). Eat a balanced diet to maintain optimum health. Your body requires an abundance of protein, nutrients and vitamins when your white blood cell count is low. Add more fruits, vegetables and fish to your diet.
  
  
• 4). Wash your hands frequently to avoid germs. Stay away from large crowds and anyone who may be sick. Do not eat raw foods. Also, have someone else tend to pet care. Since your immune system is compromised, you want to avoid infection at all costs.
  
  
• 5). Avoid tasks that may injure you such as cutting food or shaving with a sharp razor. Even a small cut can cause a serious infection with a low white blood cell count.
  
  
• 6). Sleep longer and allow your body to regenerate. Rest allows your body to restore and heal healthy cells to fight off infection. Rest more often to improve your white blood cell count.
