My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.

Ongoing fever with body pain and headache for 15 days needs further tests since COVID and malaria tests are negative. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) can help check for infections. Urine Routine and Culture can help rule out urine infection, which is common postpartum. If fever persists, Chest Xray may help check for hidden infections. Continue monitoring temperature and hydration, and consult your doctor with these reports for further treatment.

Hi, my husband is 39 years old. He has had viral fever with cold and cough for the past 3 days. He took medication and the fever has now reduced. His blood reports are normal, no malaria or typhoid. Yesterday his platelet count was 1.51 and WBC was 7,200. He was given papaya leaf tablets and papaya. Today, his platelet count increased to 1.67, but his WBC decreased to 5,800. Is it normal for WBC to drop like this during viral fever?
