There are too many possibilities for low white (leukopenia) or red cell count (anemia) to judge without a lot more information about symptoms, details of the blood counts, other health problems you have, results of other lab tests, etc, etc. Discuss with your doctor; or ask for referral to a hematologist (blood specialist). Good luck.

There are many things that can cause this so getting the proper diagnosis is key to getting the proper treatment. See a hematologist so that testing can be done and a diagnosis made. Only then can the proper treatment be rendered. Good luck to you!
