I have been having a constant headache along with severe throat pain. My WBC count is 14,800.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allMy blood report shows RBC normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis. WBC shows lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. Platelets are adequate on the smear. What does it mean? Thank you.

I recently received my blood test results, and I noticed that my eosinophil count is 8, whereas the normal reference range is 0 to 6. What could be the reason?

I have a CBC test and peripheral smear test today. I had sex at 3 AM today, and my blood test is scheduled in 4 to 5 hours. Should I postpone it until tomorrow, or will it not affect my results? Please help.
