Why Is My WBC Count So High?

Hello Doctor
I have done blood test and WBC count is hight to 17,200. I have done Chest X- Ray, Sonoraphy and ECG all are normal. I have visited 10 days before 1 MD, he told that its due to infection and taking his medicines from 9 days. But again I have same hight count of WBC's. Please suggest what is the cause ?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your high wbc count is mostly due to some infection. you should search for the foci or site of infection. Go for further blood test to search the cause. And you should consult your physician and need to change the antibiotic. You may have some resistant against that.
Go for it. No need to worry. You will be ok within short time.
Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions then feel free to ask me.
I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
