There is no treatment for a high WBC count. We need to find out why the WBC count is elevated which can be due to many reasons including infection, malignancy , drugs like steroids, to mention a few. So the cause of elevated counts is the basic underlying problem which needs to be treated. This can only be arriced at after a detailed evaluation of the patient by a physician. Thank you.
