question: Hi there doctor, I was taking the antibiotics Doryx until yesterday for 9 days because of a skin infection with boils due to a bad heat rash. Yesterday I did blood tests and this is what came out bad: Cholesterol total 218, high; LDL Cholesterol Calc 116, high; TSH 5.370, high; WBC Esterase Trace Abnormal; WBC 6-10 Abnormal. Could it be that the WBC is high because of the infection that I had? And if not, what would you recommend? And what would you recommend for the thyroid? Could the infection or antibiotics be affecting my thyroid? What is your general impression? Thanks a lot, I am a bit worried. Y.A.
