My 8 month old niece has had a persistent fever for the past 2 weeks. It normalizes when given antipyretics but recurs every 8 to 10 hours. She has a normal diet but sometimes skips meals. She has also vomited 2 to 3 times. A blood test report showed a high lymphocyte count of 58. She traveled about 400 km last week, although comfortably. Could this affect her condition? What could be the reason, and what do you suggest? Thank you in advance.

A high lymphocyte count usually points to a viral infection, which is common in children. Since the fever persists for two weeks, further evaluation is needed to rule out other causes. Consult a pediatrician soon.

I have got my blood report which shows a WBC count of 115,000 with a decreased amount of lymphocytes. I constantly experience fever, cough, breathing problems, and sometimes stomach issues.

My period started on 5th January and the flow ended on 11th January. However, since then, I have been experiencing spotting once a day, every day. I am a bit concerned and would like to know if this is normal. I have attached my reports from the past few months for your reference.
