What Causes Low Wbc Count?

I have recently had a general blood test, as I was suffering from Hair loss, night swats and sore glands. The blood test came back Norman however my white blood cell count was low. Considering this was the only abnormality, should I have further investigations? My doctor suggested another CBC in 1 month. I am a 20 year only female, generally otherwise healthy, had glandular fever earlier this year.

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have mild decreased wbc count. It is not a big worry. Simple viral infection can leads to this. So don't worry about ypur wbc count. Just repeat it once after a month. Not a cause of big worry.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
