Brief Answer:
Low lymphocytic count seems to be due to 'common cold'

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
I can understand your concern.

The normal percentage of Lymphocytes is 20-40% of the white blood cells (WBCs).
Less lymphocytes (lymphopenia) can occur in the initial stages of the viral infection like flu or common cold before the onset of clinical symptoms.
There's nothing to worry about.
The count will return to its normal level after the recovery from the common cold.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
