Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
High lymphocytes can be from viral infection most commonly. If he has any cold history than provide it for giving more comment. If cold is present, symptomatic management is done for that. Repeat CBC after few days. If still lymphocytes is high than peripheral smear examination report should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
