General & Family Physician 's  Response
While there are multiple reasons why you may have a low wbc count, the count itself is non-specific and is usually not a cause for concern.

A few things that may cause the low wbc count with high lymphocyte and monocyte counts are chronic infections.

It would be easier to help you if you could have specifies why you were on antibiotics/antihistaminics and the duration .
I find this answer helpful
