A member asked:
Cbc normal waiting on abdom x-ray for mild lrq pain. if normal white bloodcell then no need for antibiotics? even if it is adhesions?

Not Necessarily: Normal WBC does not mean you don't have an infection. You have to find the diagnosis first, and then decide whether someone needs antibiotics. Sometimes even in severe appendicitis there is not WBC elevation. It is more of a supporting test than a diagnostic test.
