My 4 year old son recently had a blood test. In the report, his DLC shows lymphocytes within the normal range. However, the ALC is consistently low. I also checked his previous reports, and the pattern is the same. Should I be concerned about this.

If the child is otherwise healthy and active, and the trend has remained consistent without symptoms, it may not indicate a serious problem. However, periodic monitoring is advisable.

Question

I am suffering from a very minor fever-like tendency for about a week. It goes away with PCM and sometimes without taking it. The temperature is very minor and gives a normal reading, but I feel very inactive because of it. I did my routine health check up 2 weeks ago and the blood report was quite normal. I do not know what has caused this problem?

Hi I just got my routine checkup done and I am sharing my report. Please let me know. I will send my health report as I am unable to attach it here?

Question

My baby is 1.6 years old. Last week, he had fever, cold, and cough. Now, the fever has subsided and he only coughs occasionally, but I have noticed that he is more cranky than usual and sleeps a lot. Is this normal post-viral behavior, or should I be concerned about his activity level? I am a bit worried. I have attached his blood report for your review.
