My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?

These values are slightly low but not worrisome if total platelet count and rest of the blood parameters are normal. No specific treatment needed unless symptomatic.

Please check my blood report. Some values are higher. Please advise as I am very worried after seeing this report. I also tested urine routine and microscopy which are normal?

I have been experiencing fever for the past 4 days, with temperatures ranging from 99F to 102F. I do not have any other major symptoms, just the fever. I am sharing my lab report for your review.

I started feeling unwell with body aches and a temperature of 100F. I took paracetamol, and my temperature returned to normal, but then I developed a cough and mild sore throat. In the morning, I felt cold and my temperature rose to 102F. I took paracetamol again, which brought it down, but the fever returned by 11 am. I consulted a physician and have attached his prescription and test report. After taking the prescribed medicines, I felt better, but I still feel very weak. Last night, I experienced restlessness, excessive sweating, and a rapid heartbeat for a few minutes. I am unsure what happened.
