Why do I sometimes suddenly feel a chill during the day? I have checked my fever but it is 97.4. Four days ago my WBC was slightly elevated and today it is back to normal. Currently I am taking Ganaton OD and Pan 40 for acid reflux. One month ago I had chickenpox. I am very worried about this. Please check my report.

My lymphocyte is 49%. Is it normal?

I am Chaithra, and I have been suffering from severe pain in my uterine region due to an infection for the past 3 weeks. For the last week, I have been unable to walk or sit properly. I consulted a gynecologist a week ago (prescription and blood report attached), but the medication did not seem to work, and I have not experienced any relief after completing the course. I am seeking a second opinion. Thank you in advance.
