I have been having a constant headache along with severe throat pain. My WBC count is 14,800.

A WBC count of 14,800 along with severe throat pain and headache likely points to an active bacterial throat or sinus infection. This could be due to tonsillitis, strep throat, or sinusitis, and may require a short antibiotic course. Until you consult your doctor, stay well hydrated, do warm salt water gargles, and avoid cold or spicy food. If symptoms worsen or do not improve in 2 to 3 days, a throat swab test and CRP can help confirm the infection type.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

I want to understand how to interpret the results of my CBC and metabolic panel. Some values came back abnormal, and I am unsure if they are concerning. My results are: Neutrophils: 84.6 percent (normal range 42.2 to 75.2) Lymphocytes: 8.6 percent (20.5 to 51.5) Eosinophils: 0.3 percent (0.7 to 7.8) Calcium: 10.3 mg/dL (8.4 to 10.2) Alkaline phosphatase: 121 (40 to 120) For reference, I have hypothyroidism and hirsutism. I am taking levothyroxine and spironolactone, and recently stopped hydrochlorothiazide.
