I'm a bit worried about my health. My neutrophil count is 80, and I've been dealing with some kind of illness. At times, my skin develops these red patches, which seem to stick around for a week or two before slowly changing color. Do you have any idea what might be happening or if there's something I should be doing about this?

I recently got some blood work done, and my WBC count is higher than normal. I'm worried it might indicate an infection or some kind of issue in my body. How can I figure out what's going on, and what kind of diagnosis should I be asking for? What steps should I take next?

Always it must be symptomatic approach if you have no symptoms repeat the test after a week if its still on higher side that need evaluation like chest xray,Us abdomen,urine culture etc.,visit Physician for the same

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?

post covid sequelae ! take multivitamin tablets and timely eating continue..
