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'm really concerned because I've been dealing with low platelet levels for about a year now, and I've noticed that every morning I wake up with a cough that brings up dark blood. On top of that, I've been having chronic cough and cold issues. What steps should I take to address these problems?
Ecg and sputum for AFB and microscopy is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit puzzled about my platelet count; its consistently between 60,000 and 70,000. Honestly, I feel great, and Ive never had any illnesses like dengue or fever, and I dont take any medications. Im curious why my platelets would be below the minimum range if Im not experiencing any health issues. Could there be something else affecting it that I'm not aware of?
Low platelet count (60K-70K) can occur due to various reasons, even if you're feeling fine. It could be related to factors like genetics, mild immune issues, or your body's natural variation. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough check-up to rule out any underlying causes.

Can you help me understand if these numbers are within normal ranges or if there's something I should be worried about? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate your advice.
the results are normal in range
