Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
I have read your reports. Your hemoglobin is normal. Your wbc and platelets are also normal. So mild increase in rbc count is normal variation or due to dehydration. No chance of thalassemia or other abnormality.

No need to worry. No treatment is required right now for that. Just repeat your complete blood count after 15 days. It will back to normal.

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.
