Today my wife 12 week blood report has come. All values are within the normal range except the WBC count, which is slightly higher than the standard range. The normal range is 4000 to 11000 and her result is 12800. Is this normal?

Mildly elevated WBC count is common in pregnancy and not usually concerning if there are no symptoms of infection. Monitor for fever or urinary symptoms. Please do the required follow up test if symptoms develop.

Dear Doctor, I had tonsillitis last week, and my WBC was 17x10000/L. After taking the prescribed medication and no longer experiencing a sore throat last Thursday, I repeated my blood test on Tuesday, and my WBC has decreased to 13x10000/L. Although it has come down, it is still above the normal range. Could you please advise if this rate of reduction is normal and whether I should be concerned?
