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.

I recently had some tests done, and my report shows lymphocytes at 3,249. Is this level normal? If not, what should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
