I'm really worried about my mom. She's 65 and has been really weak for the past few months. Now she's got a fever and has started vomiting after eating. She also finds it hard to get out of bed. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do to help her?

I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?
A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.
