I think that it could just mean you have an infection or even a virus.

white blood cells will be raised if you have any slight infection. It can be anything from a dodgy tum to a cold so don't worry yourself.....If you can't stop bothering then call your doctor back and ask to speak to him.I have had this many times and it has never turned out to be abything serious so hopefully you will be the same.

yea white blood cells means you have an infection somewhere, stay off Google and go see your doc on Tuesday.

I agree with eveyone else, the most common reason is an infection.
Good luck for Tuesday and let us know how you get on.

Best thing to do is not google things and worry yourself!

It's worrying enough waiting to go to the docs!
I'm sure everything will be fine & good luck at the doctors on Tuesday!
