Brief Answer:
Blood reports suggestive of high neutrophils indicating bacterial infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
The blood tests taken two weeks before and the recent one both show an increase in white blood cells.
The differential count reveals high neutrophils in both reports.
Neutrophils are type of white blood cells which are increased in cases of bacterial infections.
The accompanying fever supports that you are having bacterial infection.
To start with you had a running nose which has probably progressed to bacterial upper respiratory infection.
I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment and prescription of an antibiotic.

Thanks and take care

Thank you for your reply. I contacted my physician and he prescribed Azithromycin for 5 days-2 tablets on the first day i.e yday and 1 daily for the next 4 days. I forgot to mention that when I blow my nose, sometimes there is little blood coming out of my left nostril.. Why is it? Is it something concerning and I should be afraid of??

Brief Answer:
The bleeding could be due to trauma to delicate nasal mucosa

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
The little blood coming out may be due to little trauma to the delicate nasal mucosa.
There is nothing to worry about. It will heal as infection clears.

Thanks and take care
