Hello Sir, I have been experiencing fever for the last 10 days, along with muscle and joint pain. My blood report shows that my monocyte level is elevated to 15. I am very worried, could this be a symptom of something serious like cancer?

A mild increase in monocytes usually points to an ongoing infection or inflammation, not cancer. Since your fever has lasted 10 days, it is important to identify the cause (could be viral, typhoid, dengue, etc.). Cancer is very unlikely based only on raised monocytes.

Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Additionally, the urine test shows a trace amount of sugar. I would like to know if these values being outside the normal range could cause any complications during pregnancy.

My father is 77 years old and has been a COPD patient for the past 20 years, under regular medication. Recently, he has been experiencing chills and shivering in the evenings and at night, along with sweating. His blood report suggests oedema in the liver and kidneys. He is currently taking antibiotics for bacterial infections along with paracetamol, but there has been no improvement. Could you please explain the possible reasons for his condition, what further tests might be needed, and what medications or treatments should be considered?
