Your pediatrician would best be able to tell you treatments for neutropenia in children but in many cases, the white blood cells will regenerate themselves with time if the neutrophil count has gone down because of an illness such as the flu. If treatment is necessary, how severe the neutropenia is will determine the course of action in regards to treatment. The doctor may prescribe injections of a neutrophil growth factor or if the neutropenia is severe enough, your child may have to have injections of granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSF's). This is generally only prescribed for severe chronic neutropenia. If the neutropenia is caused by illness such as leukemia, a bone marrow transplant is often the best treatment.
