My baby is 2 years and 5 months old, and the absolute lymphocyte count is high. Should I be worried?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Children may have higher lymphocyte levels, up to 50%, which can gradually decrease to adult levels between the ages of 4-6. Therefore, if your child does not have a cold, there is no need to worry; if they have had a recent cold, it is often due to a viral infection causing the lymphocyte count to rise, and it will return to normal once the cold has resolved.
