Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you.

There are many causes of rise in WBC count. Infection is one amongst them. There is possibility of leukaemia also.

I suggest you to keep continuous watch over WBC count. If you feel feverish or some kind or infection related immediately contact the nearby doctor. At this phase nothing more is required.
