When a patient has been ill with severe sore throat, cold, flu, etc, it is sometimes normal for the WBC to change. If your doctor is not upset, I would not worry about it, however, if he wants to re-test, I wuold do that, blood tests are only a "snapshot" of what is going on during that second, they can change.
