hello sir!! i m a 3rd yr dentistry student from mumbai. i recently took a CBC for a surgical tooth disimpaction & have had total counts of 21800 and 20000 in two reports a week apart. i don t suffer from any medical conditions nor i am on any medication. the rest of the report is normal. blood sugar levels are also normal. could suggest if there is any problem??
Hello, A WBC of 20,000 indicates an active infection. Did you take an antibiotic? Are you experiencing any other symptoms? Are there complications with healing? Was the dental procedure difficult? From the information provided, I can only recommend being prescribed an antibiotic and suspect a relationship with your recent dental procedure.  Are there additional details that raised concerns to consider taking a CBC? I am available to answer additional questions and am glad to assist you. Thank you for your inquiry.
