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."

I'm worried about my mom. She recently had a procedure for a blockage in her left hand and she's been prescribed acitrome as a blood thinner. Her periods are really heavy though, and the doctor suggested using sevista to help stop the bleeding temporarily. Can she really take sevista with acitrome? I'm a bit anxious about mixing the two medications. What should we watch out for?

I've been really concerned because for the past year, my platelet count has been stuck between 70 and 100, and my MPV is over 14. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can get my platelet levels back to normal. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
