My 27 year old daughter had viral fever on Monday. After three days, the fever went away, but she is still suffering from a persistent cough. Her blood report and chest X ray are normal. She has taken many medicines and syrups, but the cough has not improved. The doctor said there is an infection in her throat. Please suggest what we should do next.

Likely post viral throat irritation or bronchitis. Steam inhalation, voice rest, and soothing syrups may help. If dry cough persists beyond 2 weeks, re evaluation needed.

My cousin recently had a CBC blood test, and the report shows Normocytic Normochromic RBC with mild erythrocytosis. Should this be a cause for concern? What can be done to manage or treat this condition? He has experienced some weight loss. He previously underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, and his latest scan is clear. He also received RAI therapy with a 100 mCi dose, and he has been doing fine since then. Is this blood report something to worry about?
