My latest blood test shows a platelet count of 85,000, and Im really worried. Could this be a sign of dengue, or is it more likely a regular viral fever? Ive attached the test report for you to see. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried about the results of my ultrasound-guided FNAC on my left cervical neck. The report mentions polymorphous lymphoid cell population, which includes mature lymphocytes, centrocytes, controllers, and histiocytes, but no granuloma or necrosis was seen. It's noted as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. I've already completed a 7-day course of Augmentin, but Im uncertain what my next steps should be or what kind of treatment is needed. Can you help clarify this for me?
Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia is usually a benign condition, often caused by an infection or inflammation. The treatment depends on addressing the underlying cause, which could be infectious, inflammatory, or even related to other benign conditions. If you've completed your course of antibiotics and the swelling persists or you have other concerns, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further assessment and management.

My wife is 26 and we're planning on having kids soon, but her haemoglobin level is pretty low. It went from 7.9 last month to 8.7 now. She's already eating lentils, beans, an apple, milk, groundnuts, and spinach juice every day. Plus, she's on a routine diet of chapatis with veg curry and rice. Do you think her current diet is enough to boost her haemoglobin levels? How long does it usually take to get back to a normal level? Should we consider some injections if diet alone isn't improving things fast enough?
