So I recently got my blood test results back and a few things are standing out to me. My ESR is at 36, my hemoglobin is low at 10, and my eosinophils are at 7. Everything else seems to be within the normal range. I'm just wondering if there's something I should be concerned about or if there's any specific reason for these levels?

Congratulations on recovering from chickenpox.
Chicken Consumption After Chickenpox
There's no specific restriction on consuming chicken after chickenpox. The name "chickenpox" is a misnomer, and the virus is not related to chickens.
Non-Spicy Chicken Soup
You can have non-spicy chicken soup 24 days after the onset of chickenpox, as your blisters have dried up.
Pimples on Forehead
The small pimples on your forehead might be a residual effect of the chickenpox virus or a separate skin issue. Monitor them, and if they persist or worsen,

I'm dealing with this condition called ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and it's been about a month now. Initially, I had treatment with single donor platelets, 3 units, but they didn't work for me. After that, the doctor gave me 5 units of IV immunoglobulins, which brought my platelet count up to 80,000. But now, it's fallen back to 28,000. I'm really worried about this drop. Can you explain why this might be happening and what other treatments or steps I should consider?

Im really confused about my dads D-dimer levels after his COVID recovery. His first test showed 1800, but we didnt find out until five days later. He wasnt showing any clotting symptoms, so we checked with a doctor who recommended blood thinners. We decided to get another test done at a more reliable lab two days later and it came back at 160. He had been taking dabigatran 150 BD during those two days. We re-tested after 15 days, and the D-dimer was 180. Im trying to figure out if the blood thinner could have caused such a big drop from 1800 to 160, or if its safe to just disregard the first test as incorrect and stop the meds. Could you help me understand whats going on?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
