Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

I've noticed a swollen area in my throat, and I recently had an FNAC test, which showed something called reactive lymphoid. I used to have breast cancer, but I'm doing well now. Could you explain what reactive lymphoid means and what kind of treatment I might need? I'm really worried about what this could mean, especially considering my history with cancer.

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I'm dealing with a pretty painful ulcer on my uvula that I've had for about three days now. The doctor gave me some meds, but I'm really anxious to know how long it'll take to heal. Also, is there anything I can do to help ease the pain in the meantime? I've heard about using Betadine garglewould that be helpful? Any advice on speeding up the recovery would be appreciated.
