Infection/Flu?: The neutrophil count is percentage of white cells? 83% is high, if so. Sounds like she has an infection like influenza or bacterial or both. Did she have a flu shot this year? Urgent care or ER for throat swab diagnosis would be helpful. If she feels better, she could call her PCP's answering service for further advice and see the dr the next day. Tylenol/advil for comfort if not allergic.
