I had swollen lymph nodes measuring 1.2 by 0.7 cm in the posterior neck. The FNAC report is reactive. I have two blood reports, one from 27 February and one from 21 April. Is there anything I need to worry about? The node has been persistent for six months.

A reactive node usually means your body fought an infection like throat or viral, and the node enlarged as a response. Since it is not growing and FNAC is normal, it is likely harmless. But as it is been 6 months, keep an eye. If it grows, becomes painful or new nodes appear, follow up again.

I have attached my CBP test report, which shows normocytic, normochromic RBCs. Could you please explain what this means? Is it abnormal? Additionally, I am experiencing burning sensations and excessive heat in my palms, feet, and eyes. Please advise what could be causing this and what steps I should take.

My father recent regular health check up report shows a high neutrophil count and a low lymphocyte count, which is similar to the report from the previous month as well. He also has existing conditions such as piles and glaucoma.
