Brief Answer:
No need to worry for lung cancer.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for lung cancer at present.
Lung cancer and throat cancer are uncommon at your age of 39 years.
First get done chest x ray.
If this is normal than no need to worry for lung cancer.
Your symptoms are mostly due to upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
And hoarseness of voice is common in severe URTI. Along with antibiotics, you need antihistamine, anti inflammatory drugs. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Avoid oily and spicy food.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out lung cancer.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.

No, stress can't not increase WBCs.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, stress can not cause high WBCs.
WBCs are marker of infection. And you earlier wrote that you have bad cod and green phlegm, hoarseness of voice. All these are possible symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.
So you are having URTI and it causes raised WBCs.
Which antibiotic you are taking?

Brief Answer:
This is not related to cancer.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, this is not related to cancer.
So no need to worry at all for cancer.
I have gone through the prescription. He gave you multivitamin, anti histamine and anti allergic drug combination and proton pump inhibitors.
No antibiotic was written in his prescription.
So you are probably not given antibiotic.
Are you still feeling generalised weakness and body ache?
You are recovering from the illness.
At the time of 11000 count previously, what were your symptoms?

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
No need to worry for lung cancer in your case.
Yes, it is possible to have early lung cancer even if patient is clear chest.
Lung cancer develops as small nodule in lung. And it starts symptoms only after the size more than 1-2 cm.
So clear chest can't have early lung cancer.
May I ask you why you are so much tensed about lung cancer?
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
