Hi, my blood reports usually show a higher lymphocyte percentage, around 47 in the last test. What steps can I take to reduce it? Thank you.

Mildly elevated lymphocytes may be due to recent or chronic viral infection. If other parameters are normal, no treatment is needed. Repeat after a few weeks.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

What blood test shows inflammation?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently moved to a hilly region. For the past 4 days, I have developed large red rashes mostly on my limbs and some on my stomach. Initially red, some rashes developed pus, and after 2 days, some turned magenta, especially after wearing jeans all day. In my locality, there are many insects, including large mosquitoes. My blood test report shows: Hemoglobin: 14.7 Polymorphs (Poly): 72 Lymphocytes: 21 ESR: 10 Other parameters: Normal Please advise what might be causing these rashes and the next steps or treatment.

My mother has been experiencing low back pain around the left hip along with a fever ranging from 99 to 100 for the past 25 days. The fever occurs at least twice daily. Her blood reports checked by a general physician are normal, and the spine X ray reviewed by an orthopedic doctor is also normal. Dengue test is negative. What could be the cause, and what further steps should we take?
