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.

Dear doctor, recently I fell sick and had fever and body pain. In fact, all my family members fell sick. My mother was diagnosed as dengue and typhoid positive. My daughters completely recovered. Their blood test results were negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid. I was the last one to get sick. My test results for typhoid and malaria turned negative. On 02 Dec, Dengue IgM was negative (1.39 units) and IgG was equivocal (20.06 units) with platelets 1.40 lakhs/cmm. On 04 Dec, I again took a retest without my doctor knowledge. The results this time were: Dengue IgM 3.20 units (negative), IgG 52.46 units (positive), platelets 1.38 lakhs/cmm. Is there anything to be worried about, doctor? I would be glad if someone can explain why the IgG values have doubled? Thanks.

Hi, my son is 3 years old and weighs 15 kg. He had no problems at birth. Last month, he was having wheezing sounds in his chest, and the doctor prescribed an inhaler for 14 days. Now he is fine. Today, his blood report shows mild eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 584, eosinophils 8 percent, monocytes 9 percent, lymphocytes 51 percent, absolute lymphocyte count 3723, platelets adequate, and the remaining values, including IgE, are normal. We stopped the inhaler today as per the doctors prescription. I want to know what mild eosinophilia means, what the treatment is, and whether we should stop or continue the medicine since he currently has no cough or cold?

My cousin recently had a CBC blood test, and the report shows Normocytic Normochromic RBC with mild erythrocytosis. Should this be a cause for concern? What can be done to manage or treat this condition? He has experienced some weight loss. He previously underwent surgery for thyroid cancer, and his latest scan is clear. He also received RAI therapy with a 100 mCi dose, and he has been doing fine since then. Is this blood report something to worry about?
