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

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

When you have a blood test, do you look at the needle go in?

I have done a CBC test recently and the reports are normal, but a few platelet indices are high, specifically MPV and PCT. Please check my report. What does this mean? Is it normal or do I need further evaluation?
