Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Raised WBC means that there is some infection. Your count is at upper level which can be due to some viral infection as well. As you are saying that you are doing fine so i would suggest you to repeat the lab after 1-2 weeks to confirm the status. Hopefully it will get back to normal.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
