I can understand your concerns. If you can tell me what symptoms your
grandson had and what prompted you to get the aforementioned blood
test, it would be useful.

Dear grandparent,
There is no reason to worry. Lymph node enlargement in the head and neck region can be very common in this age group. Most children are immunologically active, meaning that their immune systems are going through a phase of active development. Hence lymphoid tissues in the body increase in size.
Your grandson's blood test reports are well within normal limits. The lymphocytic predominance (lymphocyte proportion of 71% could be considered normal for his age. The doctor has been right in pointing out that there is no need for concern. We could have avoided getting this blood test as well. There is no need to put a healthy 10-month old through a blood test just to allay our anxiety. I would sincerely advise you to refrain from unnecessary testing.
