I'm a bit concerned after getting my blood test results. My hemoglobin level showed up at 17.7, which I've read could mean I have polycythemia. Do you think I should see a specialist about this?

I'm really worried about my swollen lymph nodes in the posterior triangle. It's been about 5 months now, and even though the FNAC report says they're reactive, theyre still hard, tender, and moveable.

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm a bit worried because my recent blood test showed that I have mild eosinophilia, and my monocytes count is right at the upper limits. Here are some more details: Neutrophils are at 47, lymphocytes are 33, eosinophils are 9, monocytes are 10, and basophils are 1. The absolute counts are 4400 for neutrophils, 3000 for lymphocytes, 900 for eosinophils, and 1000 for monocytes. Also, my platelet count is 269,000. Could you help me understand what this might mean for my health? Should I be concerned about these levels?
