A WBC count of 23,000 indicates a possible bacterial infection or inflammation. Since you also have fever and body pain, this may need antibiotic treatment after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor urgently for further diagnosis and to rule out any serious infections.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test
