As a general rule, antibiotics do not cause a decrease of white blood cells (WBCs). WBCs are one of the main ways the body fights infection. Because your son had a recent illness the WBC count most likely increased during that period in order to fight his infection.
Autoimmune diseases that attack your white blood cells can also lead to a low WBC count. Several different prescribed drugs, including chemotherapy, are known to decrease WBC production or destroy WBCs. A low WBC count can be serious because it increases your risk of developing a potentially life-threatening infection.
