Answer 1

Just wait for your doctor's appointment.

High numbers of WBCs (leukocytosis) may indicate:
infectious diseases
inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy)
leukemia
severe emotional or physical stress
tissue damage (for example, burns)
anemia
etc.

Answer 3

Its about 5X normal. Bacterial and viral infections are typically in this range. Childhood leukemia is often of the acute type, and white cell counts go into the 50X normal range. Also, the child would show a preponderance of one cell line (lymphocytes, granulocytes) and a marked reduction of others, as well as a low RBC.

Answer 4

i see WBC's this high in kids all the time, when they have an ear infection, or bacterial infection, like sinusitis. i wouldn't worry, but definitely follow up on it. bacterial infections in kids often bring WBC's this elevated. an appropriate antibiotic should bring things back to normal.
