A WBC count of 14,500 indicates the body is likely fighting an infection or inflammation. It could be due to a recent illness, such as cold, flu, or other bacterial infections. If you have symptoms like fever, fatigue, or localized pain, consult a doctor.

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