Question 1

Yesterday, I had a blood test due to a lump under my ear. The report shows my CRP level is 22.9. Could you please explain what might cause this elevated CRP level, and whether it is something serious?

Question 2

I am 53 years old and have been experiencing fever (99 to 104F) for the past week. My recent blood report shows:
WBC: 171,770 cells/cmm
Hemoglobin: 9.1 g/dL
RBC: 2.60 million/cmm
Blasts: 60%
I am also experiencing gum swelling and bleeding. Please advise what could be the reason for the increased WBC count, and which specialist should I consult for further evaluation.

Question 3

Hello Sir, I have attached two copies of my report for the lymph node behind my ear. I have been taking different antibiotics for the past three weeks. I am having a fever once a day around 100 degrees and headaches. The doctor has said that if it is not cured, it may need to be removed surgically as it is a bacterial infection. Please suggest the best treatment in homeopathy or should I consider surgery?

Is a 3.7 WBC count too low?

Yes
