Dear Doctor, My 2 month old son has been coughing for the past few days. His blood report today shows: HGB: 9.5, Platelets: 887, CRP (Quantitative): 23.6. Could you please guide us on the next steps? Thank you.

CRP 23.6 is high, suggesting infection. Low hemoglobin also needs follow-up. Consult a pediatrician immediately. Ensure baby is feeding well and not lethargic. Do not delay, infant infections can progress quickly.

I had a D&C on 9th March. For the last three to four days, I have been experiencing pelvic pain and was taking Meftas Spas. Yesterday, the pain increased so much that I had to rush to the hospital and get a USG done, both transvaginal and whole abdomen. The transvaginal scan detected a retention cyst of 4.4 cm. The pain is continuing and is unbearable. Please suggest if there is anything to worry about. MetPCO has been advised. This was my first abortion, and I plan to conceive again within three months. Are there any worries? I have attached my report.

My daughter is 5 and a half years old and generally a healthy child. However, for the past 4 months, she has been experiencing a persistent dry cough. The doctor has given antibiotics, which help temporarily, but the cough returns once the medication is stopped. The doctor has advised a blood test. Please look into it and advise.
