Brief Answer:
You are suffering from infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your total leukocytes count is very high. However you have neutrophilic leukocytosis. So it suggest some infective pathology. No need to big worry. You should complete the course of antibiotics. You are already taking antibiotics. So just complete the course. You should go for repeat blood count initially every two to three days till it becomes normal.
If you have any other symptoms then tell me so that I can help you further.
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.
