Low platelets and high ESR suggest your body may be fighting an infection or inflammation or even allergy. Cough and fever may point to a viral or bacterial cause. It is best to consult a doctor for evaluation and possibly repeat tests.

Dear doctor, my father is 51 years old. His recent CBC blood report shows a high eosinophil count. He also experiences itching on some days. The report is attached. Is this normal, and has the eosinophil count returned to normal? Kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

I am a thyroid patient. My reports are currently normal. I have been running 6 km in the morning for a few days and for the past few days I have been feeling dull, irritable, lacking energy, and sleepy.
