Pregnant, Having Stuffy Nose, Sore Throat, Body Aches, High WBC. Why The Question About Abnormal Pap Was Asked?
I m 31 weeks pregnant. I went to my family doctor today with a stuffy nose, sore throat an body aches. He did a CBC and it came back with extremely high WBC. Said it was not the flu probably bacterial. Then asked me when my last abnormal pap was? I said 2 years ago. And he said ok? Why was this question asked?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
The question about the pap smear seems to have nothing to do with why you went to the doctor. It makes no sense in terms of symptoms of a bacterial upper respiratory infection. Ask this doctor why they asked this question - it might have just been to clarify an omission in the record.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
