I'm a bit worried about my mom's blood work results. Her RDW came back at 14.2, and I noticed the reference range is between 11.5 and 14.0. Also, her PDW is 17.2, with the reference range being 9 to 17, and her absolute basophil count is 0. Plus, she's got some high cholesterol. Do you think this is something serious? Which specialist should I talk to about these results?

I'm a bit worried about my mean platelet volume being at 14.8. Does that seem unusually high or just slightly above normal? How can I bring it back to a more typical range? Any advice would be appreciated!

yes it will come

I'm a bit worried about the results of my ultrasound-guided FNAC on my left cervical neck. The report mentions polymorphous lymphoid cell population, which includes mature lymphocytes, centrocytes, controllers, and histiocytes, but no granuloma or necrosis was seen. It's noted as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. I've already completed a 7-day course of Augmentin, but Im uncertain what my next steps should be or what kind of treatment is needed. Can you help clarify this for me?

Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia is usually a benign condition, often caused by an infection or inflammation. The treatment depends on addressing the underlying cause, which could be infectious, inflammatory, or even related to other benign conditions. If you've completed your course of antibiotics and the swelling persists or you have other concerns, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further assessment and management.
