If antibiotics can cause your white blood cells to be low? Just had bloodwork done yesterday and neuro's office called to say counts are low. They want me to retest in couple wks. I've been on antibiotics for almost a week now for tooth problem. Could this be why? I'm on Avonex, btw

the MS alone cause ur immune system to be low,, i wouldn;t think the antibiotics would cause that,,,, those perk it up a bit gettting rid of an infection,,, i personally have never had a problem like that so maybe someone else would know more. i take vitamin c now to help build up my immune system.
