Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. This can be a virus but there are other causes also. Viral fever usually goes off in a week or so. Other reasons of low white cells include autoimmune disorders and other infections such as tuberculosis. I would suggest to go for sputum examination and montoux test. I would also like to know about other blood tests such as platlet counts and ESR. Please revert back to me with these tests reports. Thanks and regards.
