But for increased WBC, everything else is okay!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

But for the increased white blood cells, everything else is okay. Increased WBC are often suggestive of an infection but you have not reported any symptom such as fever.

It is hard to give a specific diagnosis for this. If I were your doctor, I will provide good pain management, add anti-allergy medications and control the blood count in 1month.

Also, if any new symptoms set in, I will encourage you to report for further review and guidance.

Hopefully, we buy time with symptom control and gather more details to see what the exact problem is.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivo Ditah, Internal Medicine Specialist
