Brief Answer:
you can't do anything

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you haven't mentioned your WBC number... Your neutrophils? Lymphocytes? Eosinophils? Basophils? Other cells?

Some people have low normal white blood cells and there is no need to raise them. If you do have a medical problem though (like if you're taking chemotherapy for cancer) your doctor may decide to treat you with growth factors which promote white blood cell production.

If you'd like a more detailed answer please upload your full blood count. It will help a lot!

Kind Regards!
