Post IVIG and abscess, abnormal bloods could indicate inflammation or lingering infection. CBC, CRP, and imaging are key. Ensure follow up with ENT.

How many red blood cells are there in 1 litre of blood?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I got my blood test done today, and after receiving the report, I noticed that only my lymphocyte count and ESR are outside the reference range. My lymphocyte count is 48, and my ESR is 28. I would like to know if this is something to be concerned about or if I need to take any medication for it.
