Father has very low WBC and neutrophil ,is there anyway to increase WBC? Urgent

Father is at high risk now. During the fight against the infection in lung, father's blood cells all dropped. He received platelete transfusion so the cough bleeding stopped. But don't know how long it would last? The even worse thing is his white blood cell and neutrophil dropped dramatically,which put him life-threatened. His WBC is 0.48 10E9/L, neutrophil is 24.9% and neutrophil absolute is 0.12 10E9/L, doctor said WBC can't be transufed, it can only be generated by himself? So is there any way to increase WBC? The doctor said my father has too low WBC to have fever? Is that true? I am thinking these low blood counts doesn't demonstrate the bone marrow ability of generating blood cells. these low blood counts partly are caused by the treatment . Is it possilbe his bone marrow could be generating more white blood?
