I'm a bit concerned because I just received some lab results, and it says that my neutrophils absolute count and total leukocytes count are high. What could this mean? Is there any specific diagnosis that these results might suggest?

So, my dad is 59 and he's had this high d-dimer level at 1.82. He got over COVID about 47 days back. Just after he got discharged, we checked, and the d-dimer was at 0.5, but now it's jumped to 1.82. Plus, his white blood cells went down from 10,000 to 4,000 over these weeks. Is this something we should be really worried about? Can you suggest any treatment or ideas on what's going on?

My dad's been dealing with aplastic anemia for about six months now, and he's 60 years old. Even with the medication, it seems like his body isn't making new blood cells, and we're really worried about it. Could you suggest where we might find better treatment options or what else we could do to help his condition?

I've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?

Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.
