Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
A high neutrophil count indicates infection in early stages . But sometimes even stress like pain can increase neutrophil count .
Reduction in lymphocytes is very slight . There is nothing to be worried for that.
So is your kid having fever or pain abdomen or vomiting or loose motions ? If yes it has to be treated or there is no problem then there is no need to worry about.
Any clarification feel free to ask .
Happy to answer.
Regards.
