Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

First of all you need to revisit ER and tell them about your aspirin consumption. Aspirin is a blood thinner , excess dose can increase the chances of spontaneous bleeding along with hyperacidity. For that you need to be monitored and medicated.

But your elevated WBC count is not related to aspirin but a sign of infection.. You need to get an urine culture sensitivity test and may even require an antibiotic course.
But please do tell you ER doctor about the aspirin.

Any clarification feel free to ask.
