Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. The high level of white blood cells is related to a bacterial infection so I suggest to do a stool test for further evaluation. Meanwhile I suggest to take daily probiotics. I also recommends to eat a light diet and drink liquids. If the diagnosis is confirmed antibiotics may be needed to treat the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
