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."
