Tonsillitis, High WBC, Had Strep, Ear Infection. On Amoxicillin, Clavulanate. Is It Related To Sinus Infection?

hi my lymph% was a little low at 16.2%
I'm 18 (college athlete) i had mono this summer and rested and did no exercise for over 3 weeks, also had strep. Since July I had an ear infection with sinus infection. Early October I was diagnosed with tonsillitis and put on Amoxicillian/Clauvate.
Than three weeks later I came down with another sinus infection and my throat was sore.(z-Pak) I had a follow up today and blood work my white count was a little high.

Hello dear .
Thanks for your query at Hcm .

Sinus infection , ear infection and tonsillitis are related to one another . one might act as source for the others infections. High counts is because of the infection.
Lymphocytes count can be reduced in some infections.
You can continue your antibiotics for the prescribed period .
