I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?

This usually indicates mild anemia. Ovalocytes may be seen in nutritional deficiencies. Iron, B12 levels should be checked.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My 3.6 year old daughter developed a fever with cough and cold. We consulted a child specialist who prescribed medications including Lanzopraz, Bestozym, Atoz, Tixylix, Calpol, Refzol, and Pacimol, which initially helped reduce the fever. However, she developed a high fever of 103. The doctor then prescribed Moxclav antibiotic and Pacimol. Although the fever decreases after medication, it returns every 4 to 5 hours. We are concerned and unsure about the situation. I have attached all prescriptions and her blood report. Kindly advise on what should be done next?
