Question 1

Hello Sir/Mam, I have had a fever for three days. On day four, I went to the doctor who advised me to do a blood test. In the test, my ESR is 100. The doctor said there is swelling in my liver and also mentioned that if I get a fever again, I should do a lung X ray. Kindly guide me, is this a serious problem? Why did the doctor suggest a lung X ray? I have also attached the report, please check.

Question 2

I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

Question 3

My sister, on 5 March, had a fever of 99 to 100 degrees F along with swelling in her ankles, pain in her right eye/head (pulsating type), and dizziness. The doctor advised various tests. Her blood test report showed Salmonella Typhi O 1:160 and Salmonella Typhi H 1:320. Urine test showed 8 to 10 pus cells, 15 to 20 epithelial cells, and bacteria present. She was prescribed treatment for typhoid.
On 18 March, Widal test was negative, but she experienced a burning sensation during urination. A urine culture was done, and after consulting a gynecologist, Doxycycline and Urispaz were prescribed. In subsequent days, she developed fever and weakness, followed by small reddish rashes on her legs.
On 29 March, a Widal test showed Sal. Typhi O 1:80 and H 1:160. She was then given Mikacin and Magnazone via IV for 5 days, but Mikacin was stopped midway. On 10 April, she experienced severe weakness, dizziness, joint pain, and her Widal test showed 1:160 and 1:320 for O and H.

I am having mild fever, throat infection with no cough, body aches, and weakness. I had erythromycin with paracetamol. My blood test report shows ESR 16 mm at 1 hour with normal up to 15, lymphocytes 4085 cu/mm with normal 1000 to 4000, and eosinophils 570 cu/mm with normal up to 500.

Slightly elevated ESR and eosinophils suggest mild infection or allergy. Continue supportive care and hydration. Repeat if symptoms persist.
