My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.

Question

Sir, I received my report from Thyrocare showing an eosinophil count of 10.5, which is higher than the normal range of around 5 to 6. I am very worried because I read articles mentioning cancer and acute leukemia. Two months ago, my eosinophil count was 4.2, and now it has increased. Is this very serious, or is there still hope to get better? Please suggest what I should do
