Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have high wbc count. There are many cause for high wbc count. But in routine practice most common cause is infection. Don't worry about that. You don't have any serious disease. Just go for repeat blood test. If your wbc count remains persistentely high then you should go for further investigations. Right now no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health
