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 am experiencing abdominal pain, back pain, chest pain, muscle pain, and itching. I have had a blood test done, and I would like to know what disease or condition these symptoms might indicate based on my report. Please advise.

I am 23 years old. During a regular checkup, my blood test showed a comment of relative lymphocytosis. I had dengue about 2 months ago. Fifteen days back, I experienced continuous headache for 3 days, which then resolved. I often get numbness or cramp like sensations in both hands and sometimes feel pain in my armpits. I have not had any headaches for the past 15 days, but I am very worried about the lymphocytosis comment in my lab report. I have attached the report and would greatly appreciate your guidance.
