High neutrophil percentages, in most cases, primarily indicate the presence of an infection, or inflammation. This is especially true when accompanied by low lymphocytes. Patients with inflammatory reactions such as fever and cough can be diagnosed with an infectious disease and can take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, don’t stay up late, don’t eat spicy and stimulating foods, don’t smoke and drink, eat more fruits and vegetables, and have their condition reviewed promptly if they have not recovered.
Purulent coccus infection should be controlled with antibiotics, such as erythromycin and amoxicillin, and topical vitamin A acid cream and clindamycin phosphate gel to relieve symptoms.
There are many other diseases that can cause high neutrophil percentages, such as massive blood cell destruction , severe tissue injury, acute hemorrhage, myeloproliferative disease, leukemia, malignancy, pneumonia, appendicitis, sepsis, acidosis, uremia, lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, acute hemolysis, and other diseases. Some physiological factors can also cause high neutrophils, such as after intense exercise, pregnancy, after a full meal, high temperature, and severe cold. It is important to confirm the diagnosis based on relevant symptoms and further tests before treatment.
