I have been having a constant headache along with severe throat pain. My WBC count is 14,800.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

View allIt is about my sister she is 20 years old and healthy but she faints and becomes unconscious at any time for example while eating sitting standing or sleeping. Is there any psychological problem because her blood report and blood pressure are normal.
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Nine years ago, I had an infection following a dog bite, which caused my eosinophils to increase significantly, and I was on bed rest for 8 months. Since then, I have been doing a CBC test every year. I have noticed that my WBC and platelets have been decreasing year after year, and I randomly experience body itching. My WBC and platelets have now fallen to the lower margins. Why is this happening? Does the infection from 9 years ago have any role in this, or is there some other reason? I have consulted many doctors and searched online, but I cannot understand the reason. Can anyone help me understand this?
