Hi doctor,
My laboratory reports are attached. My hemoglobin level is 14.6, hematocrit is 42.5, red blood cells are 4.54, white blood cells are 4.00, the platelet count is 243, neutrophils are 0.36, lymphocytes are 0.53, monocytes are 0.06, eosinophils are 0.03, and basophils are 0.02. Should I be concerned about my white blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils? I have not had a blood test in a long time. However, I took one because I am getting my third molar removed.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Your lymphocyte count is slightly high, possibly due to a temporary viral infection. However, neutrophils are relatively low due to high lymphocytes. So, do not worry about that. The total WBC (white blood cells) count is lower than the borderline count. But it does not signify any pathology, and there is no risk of infection in mild neutropenia. Kindly attach your report so I can verify the finding and evaluate it.

Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Nasal congestion could be due to an upper viral rhinitis-like infection. I suggest you take tablet Levocetirizine (Xyzal) as a decongestant for five days. Once the congestion has subsided, you may schedule your surgery. Virus infections usually clear up in 5 to 7 days. Drink more water and consume more fruits and green leafy vegetables to recover quickly from viral congestion. After one week, you can repeat the CBC (complete blood count) to determine the total WBC (white blood cell) count.
