This means your red blood cells are of normal size and color, indicating no major anemia or RBC disorder. It is a normal finding.

How long is the needle in you during a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am COVID positive and today is the 8th day. I take Telmistran H regularly for high blood pressure. My current medicines are Azithromycin 500, Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Paracetamol since day 2. My recent blood report shows D dimer level 2600. One doctor advised a blood thinner injection for 7 days, while another said it is not immediately necessary and that Ecosprin 150 is enough. I need your opinion and guidance.

Dear Doctor, I had tonsillitis last week, and my WBC was 17x10000/L. After taking the prescribed medication and no longer experiencing a sore throat last Thursday, I repeated my blood test on Tuesday, and my WBC has decreased to 13x10000/L. Although it has come down, it is still above the normal range. Could you please advise if this rate of reduction is normal and whether I should be concerned?
