Does a CBC test show any kind of infection or overall health issues? I mainly have symptoms of laziness, and pain in my legs and back. Would a CBC test be useful in my case?

CBC Test can detect infection, anemia, and general weakness. Helpful for symptoms like tiredness and leg/back pain. Also consider a Vitamin D Test if pain persists.

I started feeling unwell with body aches and a temperature of 100F. I took paracetamol, and my temperature returned to normal, but then I developed a cough and mild sore throat. In the morning, I felt cold and my temperature rose to 102F. I took paracetamol again, which brought it down, but the fever returned by 11 am. I consulted a physician and have attached his prescription and test report. After taking the prescribed medicines, I felt better, but I still feel very weak. Last night, I experienced restlessness, excessive sweating, and a rapid heartbeat for a few minutes. I am unsure what happened.
