For eating spicy chips does it raises white blood cell count? what can i do or eat to lower my white cell count? can i use nasal spray to get rid of my post nasal drip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Why. Maybe.: No, eating spicy chips should not raise a person's blood WBC count. However, a super high adrenalin level, such as gasping to swallow or breathe because the sriracha was just too fiery, can transiently raise blood WBC's but a person wouldn't be doing a lab test at that moment. Why lower one's WBC count? WBC's help us fight infections. Some people, not all, can use nasal sprays for postnasal drip.
