Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi monocytes absolute number is 0.9 in cbc test , only one month ago was 0.5 I have now a small increasing of my lymph near to my throat on the neck , I am taking antibiotic , and I feel its going smaller after 6 days using the antibiotic , is it normal to have 0.9 monocytes (lab range is 0.2-0.8)
A lymph node enlargement in neck indicates infection in the area drained by the nodes (teeth, ear, and nose throat skin of face). That is confirmed by the fact that it is decreasing after antibiotic course.
Monocytes up to range of 0.2 to 0.9 are within normal limits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
