Sore throat,ha,neck pain/stiffness,malaise,&fatigue x1 wk. dr. at urgent care said it's encephalitis based on symptoms&low wbc count.what should i do?

Encephalitis?: Encephalitis if that is what you will be found to have is serious and should be worked up and treated by your neurologist. With a low white count, a viral cause is likely, but can be just as serious as a bacterial cause. I would see a neurologist immediately.
