My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?

Monocytes can temporarily drop with infections or stress. ESR of 36 is mildly high and may relate to inflammation. Back pain could be musculoskeletal. Not serious if symptoms improve.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) Test

My daughter (4.8 years, 25.5 kgs) needs to get a sample collected for CBC and other tests. How can I apply Topical cream on her hand to ease her needle insertion pain?

I had swollen lymph nodes measuring 1.2 by 0.7 cm in the posterior neck. The FNAC report is reactive. I have two blood reports, one from 27 February and one from 21 April. Is there anything I need to worry about? The node has been persistent for six months.
