Question 1

My son was having fever. Consulting the doctor, his blood report indicates normal for typhoid and other blood counts. WBC was 3500. So as per the doctor, it might be because of infection. The doctor is giving him antibiotics parenterally and Dextrose saline. My son does not have any other symptoms like fever or redness which he had previously. Slowly he is taking light food but in very low quantity. The only problem is he feels weakness and is lying on the bed. After 48 hours, another blood report is going to be done. I am worried. Please suggest?

Question 2

Hi, my son is 3 years old and weighs 15 kg. He had no problems at birth. Last month, he was having wheezing sounds in his chest, and the doctor prescribed an inhaler for 14 days. Now he is fine. Today, his blood report shows mild eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 584, eosinophils 8 percent, monocytes 9 percent, lymphocytes 51 percent, absolute lymphocyte count 3723, platelets adequate, and the remaining values, including IgE, are normal. We stopped the inhaler today as per the doctors prescription. I want to know what mild eosinophilia means, what the treatment is, and whether we should stop or continue the medicine since he currently has no cough or cold?

Question 3

I have been having repeated CBC tests over the past 9 months. My WBC count has consistently been between 12,500 to 14,000 and platelets between 100,000 to 150,000, but on two occasions when I had a peripheral blood smear, the report was normal. Tests for HCV, HBsAg, RBC, HIV, Dengue, VDRL, MP, and Vidal were all normal. I do not have any significant symptoms. Could you please advise what I should do going forward? Can I consider myself healthy, or is there a need for further investigation?

Doctor, please help me understand the following result from my blood report, RBCs are normocytic normochromic blood picture. What does this mean, and is it normal?

This means your red blood cells are of normal size and color, indicating no major anemia or RBC disorder. It is a normal finding.
