Almost a month ago I have painful urination and painful swallowing. I've decided to go to the doctor the next afternoon since hospitals are closed on sundays. That night I have experienced fevers and chills aside from the above symptoms. I've taken paracetamol to alleviate the symptoms. I went to the doctor which gave me a CBC and medications (cipro) for gonorrhea and urethritis. I've been well after several days taking the medicine but the results of my CBC indicate that I had elevated neutrophils and lympcytes 2% below normal when I was checked up. The other components of my blood were normal. Would the decrease in my lymphocyte be caused of my illness?

Well, the neutrophils increase in acute bacterial infections, so the percentage of lymphocytes will have to decrease. (All the different populations of the white blood cells add up to 100%). Chances are that your lymphocyte counts are actually not down (but this can occur during acute illness), but that the other cell lines have increased.
However Ciprofloxacin was recently taken off the US recommendations for treatment of gonorrhea because of increasing drug resistance.

Hell yeah std's cause fever. It will make YOU as sick as a dog. Go see a doctor who specializes in female /male reproductive organs.
