I'm really worried about this lump I've got between my neck and jaw. It's been there for a while, and I've noticed that my weight has dropped to 67 kg. My recent blood test showed my WBC count is at 14,000, with low lymphocytes but high polymorphs. My hemoglobin's normal, though. I also feel like my body's really warm, and my pulse seems fast. Should I be concerned? Is there anything specific I should watch out for or ask my local doctor about?

"Based on your symptoms of weight loss, high WBC count, low lymphocyte count, high polymorph count, lump in between neck and jaw, warm body, and fast pulse rate, it sounds like you may be experiencing an infection or inflammation in your body. I would recommend taking antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg twice a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for pain and inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

View allI recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had Covid, but thankfully she recovered and tested negative about two weeks ago. However, we've noticed her D Dimer level is now 675mg. Is it normal for blood to become thicker after testing negative for Covid? Also, her CRP level is up to 10. Is there a chance of reinfection, or is this something else I should be worried about?
continue the covid tablets which your consultant given!! no need to recheck

I'm really concerned about my recent test results and hoping you can help me make sense of them. I got a 1g Jilazo injection back in May when my ferritin was 14 ngml, total iron was 80 mcgdL, TIBC was 339 mcgdL, and Hb was 9.7 gdL. I've got beta thalassemia trait and was told to take Folvite and Quicobal 1500 mcg. When I got tested again in August, my Hb dropped to 9.3, TIBC was 242 mcgdL when it normally should be between 265 and 297, total iron was down to 70 mcgdL, and ferritin had jumped to 280 ngmL, way higher than the normal 13 to 150 ngdL range. I'm worried if the high ferritin and low TIBC are because of the Jilazo injection, and I'm trying to understand why my Hb and iron levels have decreased. Does high ferritin mean something bad, and should I be concerned since I also have Acidic GERD and Grade A Esophagitis? Would love your thoughts.
