What Causes Rise In CRP And WBC Level Inspite Of Taking Antibiotics For UTI?

Hi, my 1.5 month son has been diagnosed with urinal tract infection about ten days back. At that time crp levels were 20.64 mg/dl and wbc level around 19k cells/ul. After the urinal tract infection has been cleared (no trace in the urine test) we were prescribed 2 days of antibiotic injection and now crp level is back 16 in the blood and wbc 23.43. How would you think about the cause? Best regards
