High lymphocytes in the blood can indicate an infection, inflammation, or a response to stress. To address this issue and prevent any potential health issues in the future, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the elevated lymphocytes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) for any discomfort, and ensure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Do you have any idea what might be happening or if there's something I should be doing about this?
