Low white blood count

2017-06-28 21:38:23
I recently did a fasting blood test and all results were fine, minus a lower than recommended white blood count. I've to re-do this test again to see if it increases (due to an infection clearing up) I know I had a cold about 5 weeks ago but I don't know if that would have affected my test. I've to wait 2 weeks and I'm so nervous. What could it be
