Brief Answer:
Just check CRP level.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
His total count is slightly elevated and in most cases it is due to infection. In few cases it may be physiological. Differential count is also important but it gives just percentage. So if percentage wise distribution of all type of WBC are same DLC may remains in normal range.
CRP is C reactive protein and it is marker of inflammation. So if he has high CRP then he need treatment. If it is normal then nothing to worry.
Other testing are not required right now. Don't worry much about that. It doesn't look serious.

Brief Answer:
Explained in detail.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
Sorry for late reply due to my busy schedule.
Mondeslor is given in allergic rhinitis or other allergic condition. It help to improve nasal congestion. Your nasal spray is also anti inflammatory.
Moxikind is an antibiotic and I think he may have some upper respiratory tract infection.
Citravite is vitamin C and it is helpful in cough and cold also.
So in my opinion this all suggest some upper respiratory tract infection with nasal congestion. These all are routinely used medicine for common cold and cough with infection.
Take it according to advise. Get well soon.

Brief Answer:
Rituximab can be used for SMZL.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
Your elder brother has SMZL.
Treatment is not standardized. It depends on many factors like age, general health, spleen and others.
But Rituximab monotherapy can be used as a treatment option. But for that I need all details of your elder brother.
