General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query .
Read and understood the problems you 13 year old daughter is having.
It is good that the Cetrixone course if already given.
High WBC indicate that she may have hidden abscess somewhere, and since she has pain in the spinal region I would advise the following:
-Repeat CBC
-MRI of the spine to see for an abscess or so.
-CT scan for the abdomen to see any inflammatory process going on like inflamed lymph nodes or so.
-Clinical evaluation and physical examination by a Surgeon can clinch the diagnosis and give a better plan for further treatment.
