My 4 year old son recently had a blood test. In the report, his DLC shows lymphocytes within the normal range. However, the ALC is consistently low. I also checked his previous reports, and the pattern is the same. Should I be concerned about this.

If the child is otherwise healthy and active, and the trend has remained consistent without symptoms, it may not indicate a serious problem. However, periodic monitoring is advisable.

My father has a wet cough and seems weak. His blood report shows neutrophilic leucocytosis, and his lymphocyte count is 12.3. Is this a serious condition, or is it a normal response to a cold?

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.
