Hi. From Monday onwards my fever has been fluctuating a lot, sometimes 104 and sometimes 99. I am having body and joint pain in my legs. I have a swollen tonsillar lymph node, but it does not hurt. I went to the hospital and they say it is viral fever. My blood results show low lymphocytes, high polymorphs, and high ESR. Can anyone please explain what my report and condition imply?

Likely viral fever with inflammatory response. High ESR and polymorphs support this. Continue hydration, rest, and monitor fever. If persists beyond 5 to 7 days, retest.

I have been experiencing fever for the past 4 days, with temperatures ranging from 99F to 102F. I do not have any other major symptoms, just the fever. I am sharing my lab report for your review.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have lab results of WBC 12.4, platelets 470, MPV 7.1, lymphocytes 3.5. Is this a cause of concern? Please note I also have allergies and I did have a flu shot right before having the blood work done.

Hi Sir or Madam, I was having a little cough sensation on the first day and the next day I immediately developed fever, shivering, and headache. The doctor has suggested a few medicines and I am taking them. I did some blood tests by self reference. Could you check the attached reports and let me know whether it is a normal viral or bacterial infection or any other issue?
