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.
