Question 1

My 30 year old husband has a fever of 101F. His blood test shows a WBC count of 16,000, and he also has a cough.

Question 2

I got my blood test done today, and after receiving the report, I noticed that only my lymphocyte count and ESR are outside the reference range. My lymphocyte count is 48, and my ESR is 28. I would like to know if this is something to be concerned about or if I need to take any medication for it.

Question 3

My son had a fever (100F) which subsided in 2 to 3 days. After 4 days, he developed red rashes all over his body. On the doctor advice, we got a CBC test along with IgM and IgG tests, IgM was positive. Within 3 days, the rashes disappeared. The CBC report showed some variations (low PCV, MCV, neutrophils), though platelets were near normal. The doctor advised hydration and close monitoring, mentioning it is a mild infection that can become severe.
He has been active and playing normally. After 2 days, repeat CBC showed hemoglobin and PCV were increasing. After another 3 days, hemoglobin was higher, PCV remained high, and IgM was still positive.
We are worried about these rising trends, though he remains active. Should we hospitalize him or continue care at home?

These are my report results, and my sodium level is 148. I experience excessive mucus in the morning and at night, chest pain, and bubble like sputum coming through my nose. I also feel tired, and my blood pressure is high. What could be the reason for these symptoms?

A sodium level of 148 is borderline and usually not serious. Chest mucus and tiredness may indicate infection or allergy or smoking . High BP should be regularly monitored and managed. If smoking, it should be controlled for BP and chest mucus
