Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
My dear friend , no need to be worry .Your friend's wbc count is raised , neutrophils are slightly increased (Normal wbc is 4000 to 11000/mm3 and normal Neutrophils in percentage is 40-75%) and E.S.R is raised(normal is 0 to 12) .
It is looking due to infection.
I advice you to complete antibiotic course like Cefixime 200 mg twice a day for 5 days. After then repeat your friend wbc with peripheral blood film.He should take plenty of fluids.
He will be fine soon.
Thanx for query.
I find this answer helpful
