I am feeling fever, chills in the body, tiredness, and gastric issues for the last 10 days. As per doctor suggestion I went for CBC and Widal test. Platelet count is 550, monocytes are 12:20, and all other CBC report is good. I am attaching the Widal test report. Is it typhoid fever or something else?

Slightly high platelets and monocytes could indicate infection or inflammation. Widal test interpretation depends on titers. If Widal is non specific, further tests may be needed.

I am COVID positive and today is the 8th day. I take Telmistran H regularly for high blood pressure. My current medicines are Azithromycin 500, Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Paracetamol since day 2. My recent blood report shows D dimer level 2600. One doctor advised a blood thinner injection for 7 days, while another said it is not immediately necessary and that Ecosprin 150 is enough. I need your opinion and guidance.

It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Hello, I have attached my blood report for review. It shows that my monocyte count is 12 percent (1152 per microlitre). Could you please let me know if this is high and whether my blood report is normal overall? I would appreciate your consultation and guidance.
