A lymphocyte percentage of 3 percent (normal 20 to 40 percent) is low (lymphopenia). Causes include stress, acute infection, or certain medications. Please repeat a Complete Blood Count with differential to confirm. If lymphopenia persists, your doctor may evaluate for infections or immune disorders. Discuss the results with your physician for tailored guidance

Hi, my son is 3 years old and weighs 15 kg. He had no problems at birth. Last month, he was having wheezing sounds in his chest, and the doctor prescribed an inhaler for 14 days. Now he is fine. Today, his blood report shows mild eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 584, eosinophils 8 percent, monocytes 9 percent, lymphocytes 51 percent, absolute lymphocyte count 3723, platelets adequate, and the remaining values, including IgE, are normal. We stopped the inhaler today as per the doctors prescription. I want to know what mild eosinophilia means, what the treatment is, and whether we should stop or continue the medicine since he currently has no cough or cold?
