I'm a bit worried because I did a CBC recently and found my monocyte level is at 13, though my WBC count is at a normal 7000. I stumbled upon some discussions online saying that high monocytes can be linked to cancer, and now I'm pretty anxious about it. I also made a mistake in an earlier message where I said my WBC count was 4200, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Do I have any reason to be seriously concerned here?

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.
