Blood test result

Posted , 5 users are following.

hi just looking for some advice! I'am a 27yr old male. last week i had a routine checkup at the dentist were he found a lump under my jaw that he wanted my gp to look at! the gp said its a swollen lymph node and took some bloods! I got a text with the blood results saying bloods were fine apart form white blood cells looked reactive which normally indicates a viral infection! other the a chest infection i had a few weeks back i feel fine! can anyone shed any light on what it could mean?

    Hello Johnny, did you have your MMR vaccine as a child? There appears to be a lot of mumps around, that was my first thought when I read your post but presumably your GP would recognise it but possibly not if s/he is young.

    Perhaps someone else will have a better idea. Good luck
