Do not worry.: You are right WBC fluctuates and it could be used as an indicator along with other things like symptoms to determine what is going on in the body. It may go up or down with infection and different components may go up or down for various other reasons. If your child is otherwise is well, it is best to follow what your doctor would suggest because they have information to make decision to repeat.
