Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your wbc count is slightly higher with rest all results are normal.
It suggest you may have bacterial infection. Which is the most common cause of neutrophilic leukocytosis. So you should take a course of antibiotics according to your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then feel free to ask me.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
