Chronic cough may be from TB, allergy, or post viral effects. If CBC, CRP, ESR or chest Xray show abnormalities, consult a pulmonologist.

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 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?
