Brief Answer:
Get him checked for fasting blood sugar levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Lymphocytes are below normal range but are marginally low. It is acceptable unless accompanied with any symptoms like repeated infections.
I would recommend that you get him tested for fasting blood sugar. Also do other basic tests like hemoglobin, kidney function tests and liver function tests.
Please followup with these reports. Also let me know the weight and height and any other symptoms if present.

Thank you for the reply.
He was suffered from fever a week ago, and we have used anti biotic Augmentin and completed the dose.
His weight is 18.5Kgs, height is 115cms and the age is 5 years 6 months.
We don't observe any weakness or fatigue in him. He is very normal and very active as usual.
As you suggested, we will do further diagnosis.
Thanks once again.

Brief Answer:
He seems normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
His weight and height are normal
There are no other symptoms in him. He may be taking more sweets just to recover from the fever he had recently. Sweets are high calorie and are source of energy and sugar as well. Otherwise there are no other issues.
I have seen his reports. His reports are also normal.
So there are no issues. Mostly avoid giving antibiotics for viral diarheas and common cold.
