After a high fever, I have severe itching that I am unable to control. All night and day I do not get a single moment of relief. A blood test report shows hemoglobin 10.4 gm percent and ESR (Wintrobe) 38 mm/st. There are no malaria or dengue symptoms. The physician said it is one of the typhoid symptoms, but in typhoid there should not be an itching problem. What could this be?

Persistent itching post fever with raised ESR and low Hb may point to post viral inflammation or early liver/kidney issue. Please take a LFT, RFT, and CBC.

I recently had some tests done. My main symptoms are feeling feverish (slightly warm body), weakness/loss of energy, and slight giddiness. My reports show: ESR is 27 (normal 0 to 19), increased RBC (erythrocytosis), increased platelets (thrombocytosis), and very low Vitamin D3 (7.54). What could be the cause of increased RBC, platelets, and ESR? Does this indicate an active infection in the body?

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am suffering from fever, headache, and body pains including joint pains. I went to the hospital and after taking medicine I am feeling better, but I have a doubt whether my fever is normal or viral. The doctor prescribed a few blood tests but all test results are normal. My symptoms do not seem like a normal fever. Please suggest, what is this?
