17k total counts is off limit. Indicates an ongoing infection somewhere. Antibiotics would be appropriate. Usual course of antibiotics is a minimum of 7 days.

TLC 17000 is not the reason of infection .it indicates infection.but from your dxplaination it’s not clear what infection it is? Please go according to your gynecologist for treatment but if you are in third trimester and can take oral then oral antimicrobials are preferable
