Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing fever and headache without any cough, runny nose, or sore throat. I consulted a doctor who initially suspected dengue and advised me to take paracetamol. However, after receiving my lab report, it shows no signs of dengue. The concern is that for the past few days, my fever only goes down temporarily with paracetamol. What could be the cause, and what should I do next?

This could be a viral fever or post viral fatigue. Dengue ruled out is reassuring. Continue hydration and paracetamol as needed. Monitor temperature and energy levels.

One year ago, my periods started getting delayed to 35 or 38 days, but not more than that. I consulted a gynecologist who advised me to get a scan. After reviewing the scan report, I was diagnosed with PCOD. I experience pain on the right side when my period comes. The doctor did not prescribe any medication but told me to reduce my weight. I weighed 88 kg before and now I am 74 kg. My periods have become regular, coming every 30 or 31 days, but I am having heavy bleeding with large blood clots, feeling very weak, and experiencing pain on the right side. The heavy flow lasts for 4 to 5 days. Please help me understand what I should do about this problem. I am waiting for your reply.

I recently had some tests done, and my report shows lymphocytes at 3,249. Is this level normal? If not, what should I do?

10 years ago, I was diagnosed and treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. After one year of ABVD chemotherapy, my report was normal. What is the chance it will come back? Do I need any checkups, and if yes, please mention them.
