Bit high: but what kind if ear infection do you have? , why was the cbc ordered? and what is the differential count? at any rate middle or external ear infection may not increase the WBC counts unless really severe, may be also due to a drug as steroids, confer with your doctor about the result, and get a follow-up study later
