My blood report is showing mild leukocytosis and my lymphocyte count is increasing each month. Currently, my lymphocyte count is 5.67. Is there anything to worry about?

A mild increase in lymphocytes and white blood cells often reflects recent infections or inflammation. A count of 5.67 is slightly above normal but not worrisome if you are healthy. Monitor the trend with repeat tests. If it continues to rise or if you develop new symptoms like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, consult a doctor.

Hi, I was diagnosed with malaria 14 days ago and 2 days before, malaria was not detected in my blood report. I was discharged from the hospital. I am 68 years old. But even after discharge, I am still getting fever of 101 to 102 degrees C. Also, fever is observed only on the head, whereas the body is cold. Please suggest. Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?
