Does a CBC test show any kind of infection or overall health issues? I mainly have symptoms of laziness, and pain in my legs and back. Would a CBC test be useful in my case?

CBC Test can detect infection, anemia, and general weakness. Helpful for symptoms like tiredness and leg/back pain. Also consider a Vitamin D Test if pain persists.

Hi, I was diagnosed with malaria 14 days ago and 2 days before, malaria was not detected in my blood report. I was discharged from the hospital. I am 68 years old. But even after discharge, I am still getting fever of 101 to 102 degrees C. Also, fever is observed only on the head, whereas the body is cold. Please suggest. Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
