    Google will tell you everything you dont want to hear. It could also be a minor infection.

    Google will tell you the worst, when likely your fine.

    NEVER USE GOOGLE, NO MATTER WHAT.

    So, what you should do is: Get in contact with your doctor, ask him for a full blood workup, because your worried about how your infection is. Chances are, unless your have a high fever you are fine. But a high white blood cell count is due to an infection or sickness. Not lukemia. And if you completed the full dose of anti-biotics, chances are that its completely resolved

    Why can't you see doc earlier?

    I read your other post as well. You obviously have an infection making you feel ill. The doc might have been trying to find out which white cells were increased which would tell him about your infection. It is more likely to be viral from your symptoms. Last time when they gave you antibiotics did they say what kind of infection it was?

    Night sweats at this time of year are very common, especially as it's been so warm lately. I too have been having them and I panicked but turns out many of my friends have too. Night sweats could also be hormone related especially if you're a lady of a certain age. (Sorry, don't know how old you are.) x

    Saw doc who told me my lymoctye count was 4.2
    Apparently normal is 3.5
    Looking on Google it says anything over 2900 or 40% is lymphocystosis is? I can't understand it

    Doc wondered if I had a infection and sent for X ray as got breathless
