Does it matter if an 8-month-old baby's blood test results are abnormal?

Patient's question:

Baby's complete blood count, white blood cells 13.38, reference range is 4-10. Lymphocyte ratio 75.34, reference range is 20-40. Neutrophil ratio 15.74, reference range is 45-77. Lymphocyte count 10.08, reference range is 0.8-4. Hematocrit 0.333, reference range is 0.36-0.5. Mean corpuscular volume 74.30, reference range is 86-100. Red blood cell distribution width 34, reference range is 37-50. Platelets 342, reference range is 100-300. Mean platelet volume 8.8, reference range is 9-13. These items do not meet the baby's standards, what is the reason? Recently, there has been some indigestion, no fever or cold symptoms, seeking help, what do the complete blood count results indicate?

Doctor's answer:

Lymphocytes are high in the complete blood count, and white blood cells also contain lymphocytes, so white blood cells are high. High lymphocyte levels are associated with many chronic infections, viral infections, or even shortly after vaccination. However, based on these results, it is not yet possible to speculate about the child's condition. It can be combined with many children's symptoms, such as whether they have a cold or fever, or whether there is localized lymph node enlargement, etc. If there are no symptoms, then it is not a big deal, and regular follow-up tests can be done.
