How To Treat Aplastic Anemia

Antibiotics

Dreamstime

If your case of aplastic anemia leaves you in a deficit of white blood cells, your immune system is in a compromised state. White blood cells, or leukocytes, work to protect the body from infectious diseases or harmful invaders. When there aren't enough of them within the body, you are far more prone to different illnesses and infections, and it is much harder to get rid of them. As a preventative measure, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics to keep the body safe from further harm. Though these types of medications are used as a treatment for aplastic anemia, they will not aid the body in producing more cells, but they will fight infections head-on. However, they must be taken at the first sign of illness (such as a fever) for them to be effective.
