My son was having fever. Consulting the doctor, his blood report indicates normal for typhoid and other blood counts. WBC was 3500. So as per the doctor, it might be because of infection. The doctor is giving him antibiotics parenterally and Dextrose saline. My son does not have any other symptoms like fever or redness which he had previously. Slowly he is taking light food but in very low quantity. The only problem is he feels weakness and is lying on the bed. After 48 hours, another blood report is going to be done. I am worried. Please suggest?

A WBC of 3500 is slightly low and may be due to a viral infection. Weakness may take a few days to improve. Monitor hydration, nutrition, and check the repeat CBC. No alarm if symptoms gradually improve.

I have been experiencing mild fatigue and noticeable headaches for the past month. I have done blood and urine tests, and nothing abnormal was found. I live in an area with a high mosquito population and have been bitten several times. However, my dengue test came back negative. What should I do next?
