Hello Sir, I have been experiencing fever for the last 10 days, along with muscle and joint pain. My blood report shows that my monocyte level is elevated to 15. I am very worried, could this be a symptom of something serious like cancer?

A mild increase in monocytes usually points to an ongoing infection or inflammation, not cancer. Since your fever has lasted 10 days, it is important to identify the cause (could be viral, typhoid, dengue, etc.). Cancer is very unlikely based only on raised monocytes.

My test report shows MPV as 13.7 and RDW as 16.8. Is this a problem? Could you please suggest?

I am having back pain since long and my skin under my eyes burns when I close my eyes. I had a blood report a month back but my parents are not telling me what it is. I overheard them saying that I would not live for more than four years. Please help me, I feel like I am already dying. I have been suggested to have bitter gourd and spinach, all things boiled?

I am COVID 19 positive and have done all my blood reports. My eosinophil count is 0.2, and my oxygen level varies between 85 and 92. I currently have fever and cough symptoms. Do I need an oxygen cylinder or should I get admitted to the hospital?
