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?

I've been dealing with dengue and was in the hospital about 10 days ago. My platelet count was really low, around 68,000, but by the time I was discharged, it had gone up to 1.2 lakh.
