Hi, I am 35 years old and attaching my report for review. Could you please let me know if there is anything to be concerned about? I noticed that my Red Cell Distribution Width is slightly above the normal range and wanted to understand if this is something to worry about.

My daughter is 5 and a half years old and generally a healthy child. However, for the past 4 months, she has been experiencing a persistent dry cough. The doctor has given antibiotics, which help temporarily, but the cough returns once the medication is stopped. The doctor has advised a blood test. Please look into it and advise.

Today I went for a blood test for thyroid. When they pricked my needle, I saw watery blood on my hand. This happened for the first time. I am not on any blood thinner medicine. What could be the reason?
