I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

I'm on the 9th day of my Dengue treatment, and my platelet count is at 36k. Everything else in my body and reports seems okay. I've been eating and drinking as much as I can to try and boost the count, but for the past two days, it's been stuck between 24k and 36k. I'm not sure what else I should do. Any advice?
