A WBC count of 23,000 indicates a possible bacterial infection or inflammation. Since you also have fever and body pain, this may need antibiotic treatment after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor urgently for further diagnosis and to rule out any serious infections.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

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?

I am 19 weeks pregnant. This is my blood report. In pregnancy, do these levels normally increase? Is it concerning? I have no previous history. Previously, I was on Duphaston and Texid. Currently, I am taking Ecosprin, LMWH 0.4 ml, Susten, and some multivitamins.

Hi Doctor, earlier the doctor mentioned that he has heart problems and prescribed medicines. Later, we were told it was thyroid related, and now the doctor is saying it is a liver infection. We feel we are not getting a clear solution or proper guidance. Please advise us on what should be done next.
