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. I finished the antibiotics my doctor prescribed, but the swelling hasnt gone down. Could it be possible for lymph nodes from an infection to stay swollen for this long? What should I do next?

Question

Hey, I just got my CBC results and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My haemoglobin is 15.9 gdL, and my total WBC count is 7550. The breakdown is Neutrophils at 72, Lymphocytes at 22, Monocytes at 4, Eosinophils at 2, and Basophils at 0. My RBC count is 6.01, and the HCT is 51.7. The MCV is 86.0 fl, MCH 26.5 pg, and MCHC 30.8 gdL, with RDW at 14.3. Platelet count came out to 285. The remarks said "Normocytic Normochromic blood picture." Can you help me understand if everythings okay or if theres anything I need to be worried about?

Question

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?
