Hi, my blood reports usually show a higher lymphocyte percentage, around 47 in the last test. What steps can I take to reduce it? Thank you.

Mildly elevated lymphocytes may be due to recent or chronic viral infection. If other parameters are normal, no treatment is needed. Repeat after a few weeks.

I am having pain in my whole body from feet to head. Even at night I cannot sleep. I have been having pain for the last 4 days. I have done a fever test and typhoid is positive. I have taken medicine for seven days but my body pain especially in the back, feet, hands, and shoulders is very severe. Please advise? I have attached my CBC test and serology test report.

Hi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?
