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.

After fever, some children may feel weak or sleep more. If appetite is poor or activity is low, get a pediatric follow-up. Blood tests like CBC and CRP can help rule out lingering infection.

Hello Doctor, my reports consistently show normocytic, mildly hypochromic RBCs, and I am concerned about what this means. I am pregnant and currently taking iron supplements and bifolate tablets, yet the results have not changed. Does mildly hypochromic indicate anemia, and should I consider getting a thalassemia test done?

Today my wife 12 week blood report has come. All values are within the normal range except the WBC count, which is slightly higher than the standard range. The normal range is 4000 to 11000 and her result is 12800. Is this normal?

I get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?
