Can 8 Lymph Nodes At The Back Of The Neck And Head With WBC Count On The Edge Of Normal To Viral Range Indicate Lymphoma?

I have roughly 8 swollen lymph nodes on the back of my neck and head. My head has also been itchy. I went to the doctor and through blood tests he ruled my white cell count to be on the edge of the normal to viral range. He so ruled out mono however he is running a few other blood tests and having me see an ent this week. Basically what I am wondering is if this sounds like I could have lymphoma. I don't want to wait till the end of next week to see the ent when I could be starting treatment if it is at that time instead.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, because of the upper respiratory infection this type of lymph nod swelling happens some time and this will get alright once the upper respiratory tract infection treated, nothing to worry about this, this is not the lymphoma, forget about this, hope this information helps you, take care and have good day.
