My WBC count is 11.6. Should i be worried? In last month CBC it was 9.4. And also i had a little cough when i had my blood work done. Is cough elevating it?. Thank You

Any bacterial infection may result in rise in WBCs. If the cough and fever are persisting you need to be on antibiotics for a short period. If fever isn't there and cough is improving then you need not worry about WBCs.
