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.

My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.

Yesterday, my father underwent fistula surgery. That night, he developed a fever. His blood report shows an increased WBC count. Could this be a sign of COVID 19? Please suggest what we should do.
