I'm a bit concerned about my lab results. My lymphocyte count is at 0.99, and my total WBC is 4.9. I recently took a COVID test, and it came back negative, and the COVID antibody test was also negative. I did take a course of cefpodoxime a few days ago. Could that be affecting my lymphocyte count? Also, what is considered a normal range for lymphocytes? Would appreciate any insights.

A normal lymphocyte count for adults is 1,000 to 4,800 lymphocytes per microliter of blood. For children, the normal range is 3,000 to 9,500 lymphocytes per microliter of blood.

I'm a bit worried because my recent test showed my hemoglobin level is 8.6, and I was told that's on the low side. About three months ago, I was fastingcould that be related? Can you suggest ways to boost my hemoglobin level, and what foods should I focus on? Are there any symptoms or serious issues I should be aware of with a level like this? Also, how long does it usually take to see an improvement?
