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.

Persistent node greater than 6 weeks needs evaluation. Could be reactive or something else. Biopsy may be needed if labs normal.

My son tested positive for COVID 19, but my report came back negative. I also had a fever, which has now subsided, though I am still experiencing some weakness. Should I be taking any medicine in this situation?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having repeated CBC tests over the past 9 months. My WBC count has consistently been between 12,500 to 14,000 and platelets between 100,000 to 150,000, but on two occasions when I had a peripheral blood smear, the report was normal. Tests for HCV, HBsAg, RBC, HIV, Dengue, VDRL, MP, and Vidal were all normal. I do not have any significant symptoms. Could you please advise what I should do going forward? Can I consider myself healthy, or is there a need for further investigation?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Sir, my recent blood report shows a total WBC count of 23,000. I am experiencing fever and body aches. Please advise what I should do next
