Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your wbc count is slightly high anfd rbc count is slightly low. Even mild infection can leads to this. So no need to big worry. You should go for differential count. If it suggest infection then you should take antibiotics accordingly. If it shows abnormal cells then you should consult haematologist. So consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
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.
