I'm concerned about my dad; he had fever and chills yesterday, and his oxygen level was at 94. He's 58 years old. Is a 94 oxygen level considered normal for him?

An oxygen level of 94% is slightly below normal but not immediately concerning. Since your dad has fever and chills, it's important to monitor his oxygen levels and consult a doctor if they drop further or if his symptoms worsen. Prompt evaluation is key, especially given his age.

I've always struggled with cough and cold, and I was diagnosed with TB when I was just 10, but I completed the full treatment back then. Now I'm 29, and my recent blood tests for CBC and ESR have me worried. My results show my eosinophils at 35, which I know isn't normal, and my WBC counts are off too. Could this be something serious or life-threatening? My doctor recommended taking Hetrazan 100 once a day for three months. Is this the right approach? I heard that high eosinophil counts aren't a disease themselves, but it's important to find the underlying cause. Could this be related to my past TB? Should I consider getting a second opinion from another doctor? I'm pretty anxious about all this. What should I do?
