It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Cough persisting for 2 months after infection may be due to airway inflammation or post infectious bronchitis. Since antibiotics did not help, consider lung function testing.

I have attached my husband blood test report. Some of the values are: MCH 35.2 pg, lymphocytes 46.5 percent, eosinophils 6.4 percent, and RDW SD 49.5 fL. The other investigations are shown in the attachment. He recently had a stomach infection. Could you please review the report and suggest if there is anything to be concerned about?

I get tired easily and cannot run or climb much. I do not do any exercise. I have attached my whole blood report along with my blood sugar report. Why do I feel weakness or fatigue? Thanks and regards.
