I'm looking at my blood test results, and my lymphocyte count seems to be higher than usual. Is this something I should be worried about, or do I need to get any further tests done?

An elevated lymphocyte count can be a normal response to infection, inflammation, or stress, but persistently high levels may indicate an underlying condition, such as a viral infection, autoimmune disorder, or lymphoproliferative disorder; consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine if additional tests, such as a lymphocyte subset analysis, bone marrow biopsy, or imaging studies, are necessary to investigate the cause of the elevated lymphocyte count.

Question

Hey, I just got my CBC results and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My haemoglobin is 15.9 gdL, and my total WBC count is 7550. The breakdown is Neutrophils at 72, Lymphocytes at 22, Monocytes at 4, Eosinophils at 2, and Basophils at 0. My RBC count is 6.01, and the HCT is 51.7. The MCV is 86.0 fl, MCH 26.5 pg, and MCHC 30.8 gdL, with RDW at 14.3. Platelet count came out to 285. The remarks said "Normocytic Normochromic blood picture." Can you help me understand if everythings okay or if theres anything I need to be worried about?

Question

I've had swollen lymph nodes for about seven months now, and while they're moveable and don't hurt, they just won't go away. The FNAC test I did said they're reactive, but after trying antibiotics, nothing's changed theyre still the same size. I dont have any other symptoms, so I'm kind of at a loss here. What should my next steps be? Trying not to worry too much, but it's been a while.

I'm just a little worried because my WBC count came back at 15,400. Is this within a normal range, or should I be concerned? What kind of effects could this have on my health, and is there a specific name for this condition?
