Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Pallor in 10 years old may be due to anemia.
Anemia may be due to several causes, but most common cause is iron deficiency anemia.
You not mentioned the specific blood cell whose count is increased.
But as far as I know thrombocytes may increase in IDA.
Hope this reply is O.K for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
