Sore throat and WBC

Question

Sore throat and WBC

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Dear Doctor, I had tonsillitis last week, when my WBC was 17 g / L. After taking the medicine and no longer feeling sore throat last Thursday, I did a blood test again this week Tuesday and my WBC dropped to 13 g / L, but it is not yet an normal number. Could you tell me if such a reduction is slow? And do I need to worry about this? Thank you. Sincerely, David

Whenever there is any infection, the blood cells act as a barrier and defend the body.. They are called WBC. So there is a decrease in blood , but as the body becomes normal new blood cells are generated and body recovers.So u will be fine.. Still after 2 weeks if it persists we need to have a through checkup
