Question 1

Will a fever between 98 and 99.8 be considered a fever? One of our friends has had this for 5 months and 20 days. His blood test report shows Hb 13.2 percent, RBC 5 million, WBC 10,600, platelet 2.22 lakhs, and ESR 25. Could this lead to cancer?

Question 2

There is pain in my body, joint pain, and severe weakness. The weakness is more after sleeping. My ESR is raised, but all other tests are normal. My urine report is abnormal. All other tests like RA, anti CCP, vitamin D, vitamin B12, sugar, and thyroid are normal except ESR and urine.

Question 3

I was diagnosed with H. pylori, which caused an ulcer. I also have chronic non atrophic gastritis, lax cardia, GERD, and piles. Due to these issues, I have lost 12 kg. I delivered my second baby in January 2020, and these problems started around April/May. My first child is 3 years old. I have been on medication for the past 10 months, but still do not feel fully relieved. Recently, I did a CBC with ESR test, and some values were slightly abnormal. My PCT should be less than 0.28, but it is 0.33. Hemoglobin is 13.5 (previously 14.7 in November), lymphocytes are 49.7 percent, and my ESR increased from 2 to 20. Should I be concerned about these changes in my report? Do they indicate any serious problem?

ESR is mildly raised and may indicate inflammation. If antifungal treatment is not working, consider re evaluation for other causes like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
