Brief Answer:
As detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/64 - swelling in between neck and right shoulder - dry cough - fever today - consulted GP - Azitis and Chupp - investigations done ...
Hemoglobin and related parameters reduced indicating appropriate treatment.
Increased lymphocytes indicate infection as is also indicated by fever hence Azitis is the proper medication given. The swelling can be the reason which most probably may be an infected lymph node.
Hence the need for Ultrasonography and FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.
Lymphocytes are relatively reduced as there is increase in Neutrophils and Monocytes although within normal range but collectively reducing the lymphocytes as the total should be 100 for all the WBCs.
HDL cholesterol is a good one and is less than the normal range.
Thyroid test is normal.
I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries.
