My mother has been experiencing low back pain around the left hip along with a fever ranging from 99 to 100 for the past 25 days. The fever occurs at least twice daily. Her blood reports checked by a general physician are normal, and the spine X ray reviewed by an orthopedic doctor is also normal. Dengue test is negative. What could be the cause, and what further steps should we take?

Persistent low grade fever with back pain may indicate infection or inflammatory issue like TB spine. Needs further evaluation beyond X ray.

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

I have been taking medication for anxiety for the past 5 years, mostly on an SOS basis. After recovering from COVID last year, I began experiencing occasional weakness and dizziness, but these symptoms would come and go. However, in the last 10 days, the symptoms have returned more consistently. I have attached my medical report.

I am 19 weeks pregnant. This is my blood report. In pregnancy, do these levels normally increase? Is it concerning? I have no previous history. Previously, I was on Duphaston and Texid. Currently, I am taking Ecosprin, LMWH 0.4 ml, Susten, and some multivitamins.
