View allI recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I've had small lymph nodes enlarged all over my body for almost 1.75 years near my ears, neck, under my jaw, armpits, and groin. The doctors at CMC Vellore checked my blood work and abdominal ultrasound, said everything's normal, and told me to come back only if the nodes grow bigger. But my armpit nodes keep hurting, and I can feel them constantly. I've seen multiple doctors in Kolkata, but no one has a solution. What should I do? The pain and the constant awareness of these nodes are really bothering me, and I also have a retracted eardrum. Could these be connected?
Given the persistent, unexplained swollen lymph nodes, persistent pain in the armpit nodes, and retracted eardrum, you should seek a second opinion from a specialist, possibly a hematologist or immunologist, to investigate further. A detailed assessment may be needed to determine the cause of your symptoms, including a thorough examination of your lymph nodes, a detailed history of your symptoms, and potentially additional testing like an MRI or a lymph node biopsy.

I'm a bit worried about my health. My neutrophil count is 80, and I've been dealing with some kind of illness. At times, my skin develops these red patches, which seem to stick around for a week or two before slowly changing color. Do you have any idea what might be happening or if there's something I should be doing about this?
