Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have lymphocytosis. However your total wbc count and platelet count is normal. Lymphocytosis can be due to some viral infection or non specific cause. You should repeat your blood count after 1 month. It will mostly come down to normal. If it remains persistently high or if your total count is also increased then you need further investigation. Right now no need to worry. No treatment is required for that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
