Brief Answer:
viral infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached pictures.
Based on the description and the reports it looks like a viral infection ( high lymphocyte count). Rest is normal.
CRP is c reactive protein. This is produced by the body in response to infection.
The higher the value more severe is the infection.
Your doctor has prescribed right medicine as high CRP can indicate blood infection.
No need to worry
You can continue same.
If he doesn't settle it isbetter to get him examined by your pediatrician again.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
Regards Dr Arun
