Suggest Remedy For Elevated WBC In Blood
Husband had an endoscopy during the procedure found white spots. Took a biopsy and thought it was fungus. Found out today not the case. White blood count low told might be an infection. Not for sure needs another scope in a few months. Taking meds for acid reflux. What could it be?

Hello thank You for contacting HCM
Well first of all I must say there's too little details provided to work on however let me try__
1. your husband's having acid reflux and on meds -
since when?
2. Did he undergo endoscopy for that or there was some other problem(what was the problem that he's facing lately)??
3. Is he having any other problems lately (fever, flu like symptoms, loose motion, pain abdomen etc. )??
4. Apart form the meds for acid reflux, is he also taking any other medications for any other problems(Diabetes, Hypertension, Asthma etc.)??
5. You've mentioned White blood count low - its better if you kindly attach the report of white blood count and also the defferential count along with next time it would be better
6. Does he smoke??
Either way do check in with your gastroenterologist and also get back to me with some more details next time for actually telling what it could be
p.s Havn't you got the report of the Endoscopy?? if yes then please attach along with in your follow-up
Hope to see you soon, thanks a lot for posting your query in HCM
