Hello,
His WBC count is around 16000, which is quite high.
It is due to the infection.
Kindly consult with physician and find out source of infection and require antibiotics after consultation. Kindly do blood culture and sensitivity.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
