I had cold, cough, and fever two weeks ago. I consulted a doctor who prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin 625 mg), Paracetamol 500 mg, and Ascoril cough syrup. After a week, the cold and cough continued with a runny nose, so he gave me some cold tablets for two days, which helped temporarily. Now, I am again experiencing severe cold, cough, chills, and a temperature of 97 to 99F since yesterday. Today, I consulted the doctor again, and he recommended some blood and urine tests. I have attached the reports. He is asking me to take IV therapy daily for four days along with more antibiotics. I shared my medical history, and he suggested getting a second opinion from you regarding this treatment. Should I continue treatment with him, or should I go to a bigger hospital? Please advise. Blood Report: WBC: 12,950 /cumm Neutrophils: 77 percent Eosinophils: 7 percent ESR: 36 mm/hr AEC: 905 /cumm Urine Report: Appearance: Cloudy Albumin: ++ Pus cells: 26 to 28/hpf Epithelial cells: Present in clumps

Report suggests infection, possibly urinary or systemic. IV antibiotics may be justified. If no improvement in 2 days, consult at a larger hospital.

I have swollen lymph nodes under my arm for the last 6 months. They appear some days and disappear on other days. They are painful. Doctors gave me some pills, but there was no response. I took a blood report, but everything is normal. The lymph nodes can be felt but not seen.

Today I did a blood test, and it shows WBC 14,500. What is the problem?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I would like to understand what a peripheral smear means in a blood report. Could you please let me know if it indicates a serious problem? Also, kindly suggest if there is any specific diet that should be followed. I have attached my report for your reference.
