I'm concerned about my recent blood test results, which showed low monocytes. I'm feeling weak and getting tired quite quickly. Could you please recommend any medicines or food supplements that might help boost my monocyte count? I'm really looking for advice on what to do.

I'm a bit confused about my recent blood test results. My RBC count came out to be 5.88 million per cubic millimeter, and the report states the normal max range is 5.6 millioncu mm. But when I looked it up online, I found that for men, the max range can be up to 6.1 millioncu mm. I'm trying to figure out which range is correctshould I be worried that mine is slightly above the report's limit, or is it actually within the normal range according to other sources?

kk it's normal

I've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
