Hi My Father's leukocytes count is 16300, neutrophil count is 84 and lymphocyte count is low. Though we have consulted the doctor & he says this some kinda infection and prescribed the medicines also however my father is bit ok now but still he is coughing. I am looking for help to understand what it is actually means & right doctor to consult with.

No need to worry. Any kind of infection in our body causes the leukocytes count to increase and that too neutrophils increase. Usually such increasd leukocytes are associated with fever episodes. Do not worry he will settle. Also to check is whether for any kind of infection he was given any steroids tablets. At times steroid tablets are cause for increasd TLC. This will settle in a few days.
