I weigh 52 kg and have a cough with mild fever. My report shows low platelet count and a high RSS value. What could be the cause of these symptoms? Please advise.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

My son was having fever. Consulting the doctor, his blood report indicates normal for typhoid and other blood counts. WBC was 3500. So as per the doctor, it might be because of infection. The doctor is giving him antibiotics parenterally and Dextrose saline. My son does not have any other symptoms like fever or redness which he had previously. Slowly he is taking light food but in very low quantity. The only problem is he feels weakness and is lying on the bed. After 48 hours, another blood report is going to be done. I am worried. Please suggest?

My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.
