Hello, in my complete blood test report the WBC count is 11,500 and platelets are 5,02,000, both slightly on the higher side. The other values are normal. What could be the reason for these high values?

Mildly high counts may be due to infection, inflammation, or recovery from illness. If you are asymptomatic, monitor. Repeat CBC after 1 to 2 weeks.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

Sir my friend is 26 years old. His RT PCR report is negative but he has fever cold cough and loss of smell and taste. Today I got a CT chest scan done. Please check my report for any infection.

I have attached my CBP test report, which shows normocytic, normochromic RBCs. Could you please explain what this means? Is it abnormal? Additionally, I am experiencing burning sensations and excessive heat in my palms, feet, and eyes. Please advise what could be causing this and what steps I should take.
