Hi,
WBC is the major defence of our body against infection. They generally increase in number after infection. So one reason for the raise WBC may be an infection somewhere in the body.
This is a common reason that we observe. Other causes include stress, burns, or steroids that may increase the count.
Blood cancers also cause raised WBC z however that is very high numbers like generally more than 50 thousand.
Her count is not too high to be concerned a lot, but a focus of infection should be searched and treated if found.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
