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

View allI get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?

My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.
