Please do not be worried. Such rise of WBCs is normal for any infection in the body and a course of antibiotics for 5 days should suffice. Get a repeat CBC after that and if the WBCs are still rising or if there are any abnormal looking WBCs on the smear then contact a hematologist. the picture you have portrayed hardly fits in with a diagnosis of leukemia
