Hello,
i can understand your concern.
High wbc count with high fever and abdominal pain usually indicates a bacterial infection. for this your doctor has rightly prescribed the antibiotics.
i would suggest to take paracetamol for fever. Include a probiotic like sporlac ds for a few days.
An ultrasound of the abdomen would help us in ruling out a few emergent situations like acute appendicitis.
Hope that i have answered your query.
Have a nice day
