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 get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?

In my blood report, I have a high sedimentation rate (ESR) and low MCHC. What does this indicate and which type of specialist should I consult?

My period started on 5th January and the flow ended on 11th January. However, since then, I have been experiencing spotting once a day, every day. I am a bit concerned and would like to know if this is normal. I have attached my reports from the past few months for your reference.
