Hi Doctor. I have had a fever for the last three days, especially at night, with a temperature of 102 degrees F, chills, and headache. My lab report shows neutrophils 80 percent, lymphocytes 16 percent, and WBC indicates neutrophilia. Widal test is 1:160 for both TH and TO. COVID test is negative. The doctor prescribed Paracetamol and Cefamid 200, but there has been no improvement.

Widal titre of 1:160 is borderline. Consider changing antibiotic or doing blood culture if fever persists. Rule out other infections.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

Hi, my husband is 39 years old. He has had viral fever with cold and cough for the past 3 days. He took medication and the fever has now reduced. His blood reports are normal, no malaria or typhoid. Yesterday his platelet count was 1.51 and WBC was 7,200. He was given papaya leaf tablets and papaya. Today, his platelet count increased to 1.67, but his WBC decreased to 5,800. Is it normal for WBC to drop like this during viral fever?
