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.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test
