Hi welcome to health care magic....

You are having high leukocyte count, so chance of infection can be present. ..
For that ceftriaxone shot given to you....
Your CRP and Differential blood count also important to know as if high neutrophils present than full course antibiotic needed....

For backache you are given opioid drug for pain relief....

Your auscultation, general examination done to look for source of infection...
If needed USG can be done. ...

Take care.....

Advise : gynecologist consultation for examination..
