HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If the wbc being increased then there should be some infective part some where and that need to be eradicated if there no symptoms still then it has to be given anti biotic, and the drug of choice would be "Levofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for 6 days this will give good results have nice day.
