The physician recommended some lab tests which i ran yesterday and got the result yesterday.

Don't be ridiculous !
If you did any research online you'll see the normal count for wbc in urine is 0-3. Your 1-2 is within normal.
White cell differential eosinophil count is 8% the upper limit normal is 3%. So this is high.
But its hardly a reason to go writing up your last will and testament for.
Eosinophils are a marker for parasitic infections and certain allergic conditions like asthma.
You said you had malaria, this too is a parasitic infection that could raise your eosinophil count.
Secondly, you took anti-malarial drugs, this and many other classes of drug can also raise eos.
If you don't believe, do another test in 3-4 months.
It should have returned to normal.
