Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms and lab reports suggests me that your daughter is having acute bacterial infection, because of which she is getting these symptoms and which is wired to her.

There is increase in the total WBC count, which suggests that body defense system is active against some infection in the body to fight against thees infective agent its number is increased.

As you are giving antibiotic like azithromycin should fight against the organism and control the infection.Even after the antibiotics if the symptoms are not coming down, I suggest you to test for blood cluture which helps to put your daughter on appropriate treatment.
Thank you.
