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.

Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.

Does a CBC test show any kind of infection or overall health issues? I mainly have symptoms of laziness, and pain in my legs and back. Would a CBC test be useful in my case?

I am having back pain since long and my skin under my eyes burns when I close my eyes. I had a blood report a month back but my parents are not telling me what it is. I overheard them saying that I would not live for more than four years. Please help me, I feel like I am already dying. I have been suggested to have bitter gourd and spinach, all things boiled?
