I'm dealing with iron deficiency anemia and my doctor recommended a Ferium 1k infusion. I'm wondering how much my hemoglobin levels might go up after just one of these injections?

I'm a bit concerned because my blood test showed high lymphocytes, exactly 42.1. Should I be worried about any health issues down the line? What steps can I take now to make sure everything stays in check?

High lymphocytes in the blood can indicate an infection, inflammation, or a response to stress. To address this issue and prevent any potential health issues in the future, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the elevated lymphocytes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) for any discomfort, and ensure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
