I'm trying to understand my CBC report. It says my RDW is high at 14.8. What does that mean? My MCV is 86.1, and my WBC count is 6800. Are these levels normal? I'm a bit worried about the high RDW. What could be causing this?

Treating Fungal Infection with Candid-B Cream and Zole-F Cream
Using Both Creams:
- Not recommended: Mixing Candid-B Cream and Zole-F Cream is not advised, as it may increase the risk of:
- Skin irritation
- Allergic reactions
- Reduced efficacy
- Alternating creams: Instead, consider applying one cream in the morning and the other at night.
Single Cream Application:
- Start with one cream: Begin with either Candid-B Cream or Zole-F Cream, and use it for 2-3 weeks to assess its effectiveness.
- Monitor progress: If you don't see improvement, consider switching to the other cream.
Precautions:
- Consult a doctor: Before starting any new treatment, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
- Follow instructions: Use the creams as directed, and avoid overusing or sharing them.
- Maintain hygiene: Keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent the fungal infection from spreading.
Remember, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any new treatment, especially if you've already tried other medications without success.

View allI'm really concerned about my cousin. He had typhoid last year, and ever since, his platelet count has been dropping randomly, sometimes getting as low as 60k. It's weird because he doesn't have a fever or feel any other symptoms. We're all pretty worried about what's causing this fluctuation in his platelets. Do you have any idea what might be going on, and what we should do next?
