Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows. 1. You are on the lower range of normal. Not to worry. 2. Possibly reduced due to nutritional deficiencies like Vit B12. Another cause could mild bone marrow suppression due to infection. 3. Continue antibiotics and along with it take Vit B12 supplements. Check after two weeks, it should improve. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
