Question 1

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.

Question 2

My baby is 10 months old and his weight is 8 kg. Now he is suffering from a running nose with fever and cough. We checked the baby temperature and it was 102 degrees. Fever is coming and it has continued for six days. Today the urine pus cell test report shows 3 to 6 hpf and the CRP test result shows a positive reaction in 1:8 dilution and CRP concentration is 4.8 mg/dl. What should I do?

Question 3

I recently had some tests done. My main symptoms are feeling feverish (slightly warm body), weakness/loss of energy, and slight giddiness. My reports show: ESR is 27 (normal 0 to 19), increased RBC (erythrocytosis), increased platelets (thrombocytosis), and very low Vitamin D3 (7.54). What could be the cause of increased RBC, platelets, and ESR? Does this indicate an active infection in the body?

I have had a fever for more than 24 hours along with a runny nose. After taking paracetamol, the fever went down, but it returned this morning. I am attaching my blood test report for your reference.

Recurrent fever with cold symptoms may suggest viral infection. Monitor for 2 to 3 more days. If persistent, repeat CBC and consider COVID/flu test.
