Aoa can anyone plz clear my wehm and confusion regarding my cbc I done on 20march showing wbc 13.4 and after using antibiotics avelox for 8days due to ribs n breathing problem my cbc showed only minor change in wbc that came 13.1 what does it mean I m also having allergy (rhinitis) used kestine along with antibiotic.due to my throat allergy but throat remained sore still sore n fatigue.I already had 3 cbc in month it was like this 1march "Wbc" 13.5 20 march " Wbc" 13.4 31 march on this day I was having restless legs n burning of hands n feet but cool head kind of allergy in my throat " wbc" 13.1 My doc says its nothing to worry got my thyroid test too n tsh came 4.92 Single age 25 According to my doc m having chronic fatigue and allergy.but my question or you can say weham is that after usinh anti allergy n antibiotics still my wbc are elevated.m posting 2nd time plz bear my stupidity n ans I had my chest x.ray it was norml n esr 16.
WBC is not only an infection marker. I can be high in different situations. As u mentioned ESR is 16 which is better indicator of infection than CBC. So just ignor and i don't think u have any infection at moment if u r not having any temperature. So just reassure yourself and don't think too much.
Thanks
Yes there is nothing to worry.
Don’t worry about cbc
Stop antibiotics and take plenty of fluids
As long as you are having no symptoms like fever, CBC doesn't matter even if it is raised. So there is nothing to worry about as all other tests are Ok.
