Question

I've had a swollen uvula for almost a week now, and it's making me cough a lot because it keeps touching my tongue. Drinking hot tea helps a bit, but only for a short time. I'm in 10th standard, and this is making it really hard to read and study. What could be causing this, and what should I do to feel better?

A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) can be a normal response to infection, inflammation, or stress. Given your: - Lymphocytes: 48% (slightly elevated) - Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC): 3312 (within normal range for many labs) It's likely not a cause for concern. However, consult your doctor to: 1. Review your medical history 2. Discuss potential underlying causes 3. Determine if further testing is needed
