Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues and feel concerned about them.

My Primary Opinion-
In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to suffer from-Opioid-Overdosage from Codine forte,while you are on with pholcodine syrup.

Do's Suggested-
Stop taking codine forte and pholcodine.
Ask your doctor to give optional syrup, after checking physically,as the cough is for 2 weeks now and diagnosis needs to be reviewed.
Hydrate with enough fluids, to recoup fast.
Appropriate Antibiotics with anti-histaminics would give remissions in your case.
Adding bronchodialators needs to be talked with your doctor if needed.
For your age, cardiologist Consults needs to be kept in mind, in view of the relentless cough for last 2 wks time.
X-ray Chest / EKG/ Blood / Suptum AFB tests would be needed to resolve your 2 weeks cough.
Other causes need to be ruled out,after getting more details from you.

Reply to specific query of your's -
Q-1-What could be going on with me?
Ans-In view of the antibiotic and kidney infection history, the cause of your pain in groin and low wbc with low neutrophils, seems to be from incompletely treated infection in your body,which could be from old Kidney infection, or could be from undetected IBS with spastic colon, giving pains in groin lately.

Dear you need to Consult attending Physician to treat above health issues of yours, on the following lines.
Before that take following steps with family doctor to come out of the emergency health issues.
