Hi & Welcome.
Your neutrophil count is increased (Neutrophilia)
Neutrophil are the primary white blood cells that respond to a bacterial infection, so the most common cause of neutrophilia is a bacterial infection, especially pyogenic infections. Other causes include fungal infection, inflammation, etc.
You need to consult a physician for proper clinical examination to rule out infection like pneumonia by certain lab tests such as chest x-ray, ESR, sputum for acid fast bacilli, etc.
Hope this will help you.
