Since she already takes medicines for diabetes and BP, her heel pain could be related to long term strain or minor side effects. A dry cough could be due to pollen allergy or seasonal allergy. Nothing alarming, but please consult your doctor with the blood report to assess further.

Dear Doctor, an 8 year old girl has been suffering from fever, and her blood report shows a haemoglobin level of 10.1, a total leukocyte count of 3700, and a C reactive protein level of 22 mg per dL. I am concerned about these results and would like to know if this situation is an emergency.
