Yes this fluctuations is generally normal sir.
This number is high because your hemoglobin is also high.
For now your reports are normal but if the hemoglobin rises further it could definitely pose a problem.
Next Steps
You don't need any medicine as such but a brilliant way to control this is by donating blood. It will reduce your Hb, RBC levels ; will lead to formation of new cells and will also help someone else in need.

A slight variation in the report is normal and acceptable.
As your parameters are in the normal range you don't have to worry about small changes.
If you have any problem you can consult your doctor who will guide you accordingly.

Yes, small fluctuations in RBC (red blood cell) count within a week are completely normal, especially when they stay within the reference range
Your current numbers are normal and safe. A 0.15 increase is insignificant in clinical terms. Stay hydrated, avoid overanalyzing daily lab values, and continue with your usual health routine.
