My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.

Recurrent fever needs further evaluation. Slightly low platelets could be due to a past viral infection. If basic tests are normal, your doctor may recommend infection markers or imaging.

Hello, I have attached my blood report for review. It shows that my monocyte count is 12 percent (1152 per microlitre). Could you please let me know if this is high and whether my blood report is normal overall? I would appreciate your consultation and guidance.

My father has easily bruising skin during a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report which shows a low platelet count that may indicate a purpura like condition.

I have swelling on my face, mouth ulcers, and a burning sensation in my body. My blood report shows Vitamin B12 level at 358 and Vitamin D total level at 28.50. What does this mean, and what should I do?
