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.

Take a CBC+ESR Test

My 27 year old daughter had viral fever on Monday. After three days, the fever went away, but she is still suffering from a persistent cough. Her blood report and chest X ray are normal. She has taken many medicines and syrups, but the cough has not improved. The doctor said there is an infection in her throat. Please suggest what we should do next.

My child is experiencing rashes all over the body, which sometimes appear in one area and disappear from another. He also has fever, sleepiness, and nausea. He has been taking Atarax 6 ml and Rantac 3.5 ml for the past day, but he feels very weak and even fell down while complaining of nausea. I got a CBC done, and his platelet count is normal.

Good Evening, Doctor. My mother recent blood report shows an elevated PDW value. Should we be concerned and get it checked further? She is also going through menopause (her periods stopped around 4 months ago). Could this be related? I have attached the report for your review. Thank you in advance.
