Phyllis
Well, you've got yourself a little mess there, haven't you? Let's take this slow and figure out what's going on. Do you mind telling me about any recent illnesses or infections you've had?
Charlie
just allergies
Phyllis
Ah, allergies can really play tricks on those white blood cells sometimes. Are you currently taking any medications for your allergies or anything else?
Charlie
mucinex d
Phyllis
Mucinex D, alright. That's good to know. Now, have you been drinking enough water or are you one of those folks who forgets to hydrate?
Charlie
yes
Phyllis
Alright, it's good that you’re staying hydrated. Now, let's talk about your lifestyle. Do you work long hours or have a stressful schedule that could be putting your body through the wringer?
Charlie
no
Phyllis
Well, you’re lucky you’re not overworking yourself then. Now, let’s talk about what you’re eating. Are you on a fast food and junk food diet, or are you putting some veggies and good stuff into that body of yours?
Charlie
well balanced
Phyllis
Alright, a well-balanced diet is good. Now let me get this straight, you've got elevated white blood cells, immature granulocytes, and an anion gap. This could be related to your allergies, but with these symptoms, it sounds most like there's either some inflammation or a minor infection somewhere in your body. Possibly it's those allergies acting up more than usual. However, an elevated white blood cell count and anion gap can also indicate other issues, so keep an eye on things and maybe see your doctor if it doesn’t improve. Stay healthy, okay?
