Hello Doctor, Can I get my son blood test done? Last week he had a fever with chikungunya like symptoms, and now he is weak. Since last evening, he has developed rashes on his face but no fever.

Rash after fever may be post viral. Can go for blood test now. Do CBC, Platelets, Dengue/Chikungunya IgM. Give fluids, rest. See doctor if fever returns, rash worsens.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a DENGUE IgM - RAPID - KA Test

Book CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test Book DENGUE IgM - RAPID - KA Test

I have been suffering from fever for the last 5 days. I have done all blood tests. The blood test report was normal except that hemoglobin was low at 10.2. What should I do to overcome the fever and raise my hemoglobin level?

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?
