Dear Doctor, My 2 month old son has been coughing for the past few days. His blood report today shows: HGB: 9.5, Platelets: 887, CRP (Quantitative): 23.6. Could you please guide us on the next steps? Thank you.

CRP 23.6 is high, suggesting infection. Low hemoglobin also needs follow-up. Consult a pediatrician immediately. Ensure baby is feeding well and not lethargic. Do not delay, infant infections can progress quickly.

I have PCOD, high blood pressure, migraine, arthritis and sleep apnea. My blood report shows very high CRP levels. Recently I have developed many warts all over my body from face to legs. While sleeping I sometimes stop breathing and wake up to catch my breath. Which doctor should I consult, orthopedic, general physician, gynecologist, or someone else. I live in Noida. Please help and guide me?

Hello Doctors, i am attaching my blood report and listing my symptoms. I have been suffering from fever for the past four days, only at night, along with muscle aches during the night. My daytime temperature and condition are normal. Could you please clarify whether this is a normal fever or typhoid?
