3 year old day had routine blood work. everything was normal except for wbc which was 3.7 (x10e3/ul) and neutrophils absolute .8 and lab range starts at .9. she had started antibiotic for strep throat 3 days prior, would this effect it? worry?

3-y-o girl's white blood cell counts is a bit low but her neutrophil count is in normal range, unlikely affected by the antibiotic she has taken. Her white cell count is very likely to rise back to normal range. Not worrisome.
