Brief Answer:
He may have some infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your son may have infection. Lymphocytosis is very common in children. So no need to worry about that. 20 to 40 is the limit for adult. Children have some what higher lymphocytes count. He may have some viral infection or some upper respiratory tract infection. So his lymphocytes count is high. If total count is normal or slightly high then no need to worry. Just complete the course of treatment. He will be normal within 1 or 2 weeks. You should go for repeat lymphocytes count after 3 to 4 week.
No need to worry. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then feel free to ask me.

Dear Doctor,
Have gone through your reply and i'm confident now. I want to get one thing clarified,i.e, our doctor who has gone through the diagnosis report of my son has told us that the counts of Polymorphs and Limphocytes are just interchanged and so it should be treated at the earliest before it's going to be a risky one. My son has been falling sick very often on cold, flu, digestion problem and loss of apetite since his birth and we are told by our doctor that these all are due to his low body resistance (immune system). My worry is, can we improve my son's immune system through medication? How long will it take for that? I request you to clarify my doubts.
