Hello, in my complete blood test report the WBC count is 11,500 and platelets are 5,02,000, both slightly on the higher side. The other values are normal. What could be the reason for these high values?

Mildly high counts may be due to infection, inflammation, or recovery from illness. If you are asymptomatic, monitor. Repeat CBC after 1 to 2 weeks.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

I was diagnosed with typhoid and recovered a month ago. Now I get a fever every second day. After taking medicine, the fever goes away but returns after a day or two. I remain normal when there is no fever but feel weak. My blood test report shows RBC 3.9, Monocyte 2.0, WBC 13,100, and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate 34. Please suggest?
