WBC Count, Lymphocytes Is High. Have A Sore Throat A Few Times. Family History Has It. Potential Virus Or Lymphoma?
I just returned from a walk in clinic. My white blood cell count is high and so is my lymphocytes. I currently have a sore throat and was given amoxicillin 875 mil. I have had several sore throats in the past, the last time was Dec. is this normal for a cold coming on? I'm worried about other potential virus and or lymphoma since my Dad is stage 3.

Hi,
There is a chance of virus infection. Anyway, other disease entity like tuberculosis should also be ruled out . You should be cautious about fever, cough any swelling in any part of body. Nothing suggestive of lymphoma still now. The proper clinical examination of oral cavity and oropharynx should also be carried out.Consult your physician for better guidance.
