Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
As you told that you are suffering from fever associated with high wbc (normal value 4000-11000) and 55 percent lymphocytes ,it suggest infection.
High lymphocytes-55 percent ( normal15 to 40 %) usually associated with viral infection or chronic infection with fever. Your platelets count is normal.
I advise you to start full antibiotic course like Augmentin 625 mg TDS for 5 days and then repeat your complete blood count after 3 days.
Drink plenty of fluids and increased protein in diet.
No need to worry you will feel better in few days.
Thanx for query.
