Signs and symptoms of neutropenia include fever, painful swallowing, gingival pain, skin abscesses, and otitis. These symptoms may exist because individuals with neutropenia often have infection. [3] Children may show signs of irritability and poor feeding. [10] Hypotension has also been observed in individuals with this condition. [6]
