Hi. From Monday onwards my fever has been fluctuating a lot, sometimes 104 and sometimes 99. I am having body and joint pain in my legs. I have a swollen tonsillar lymph node, but it does not hurt. I went to the hospital and they say it is viral fever. My blood results show low lymphocytes, high polymorphs, and high ESR. Can anyone please explain what my report and condition imply?

Likely viral fever with inflammatory response. High ESR and polymorphs support this. Continue hydration, rest, and monitor fever. If persists beyond 5 to 7 days, retest.

Hello, please check my report and tell me if everything is okay. What does an increased MPV mean? And why is my RBC count also increased?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My WBC count is 12,900. I am currently taking Dilzem, Rosuless, and Teneza M. What does this WBC level indicate, and should I be concerned?

I have a CBC test and peripheral smear test today. I had sex at 3 AM today, and my blood test is scheduled in 4 to 5 hours. Should I postpone it until tomorrow, or will it not affect my results? Please help.
