Hi.
Thanks for your information, female 22 is getting pain in the right lower abdomen. There is no fever or vomiting but the WBC count is raised.
WBC count can be raised due to appendicitis, diverticulitis, urinary tract infection, Pelvic inflammatory disease and so on.
I would advise you the following for your daughter:
CT scan of the abdomen to get a pin-pointed cause to be detected.
She needs an appropriate treatment with an antibiotic
