Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX saw the report.
His Haemoglobin is 11.8 gms % --could be better, but not bad.
Total WBC--is above normal which is due to bacterial infection.

His platelet count is normal.

I think he needs antibiotic.I do not think he requires further investigations.
Please discuss with your doctor.
You can revert back.
