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?

If blood report shows high WBCs or neutrophils, it could be bacterial, lymphocytes suggest viral. Other markers like CRP, ESR, or procalcitonin can help differentiate. Please do the required infection markers to confirm cause.

Good evening sir or madam, please see my test report and suggest remedies and what you think is most relevant for me. My height is 172 cm and my weight is 90 kg. I do not use alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, cold drinks, or oily food. I do approximately 20 minutes of yoga and a daily walk after meals. I eat only 2 to 3 rotis, use dry fruits, hand made juice, and some eggs and non vegetarian food. I am a UPSC aspirant, so I have to study 10 to 12 hours daily. I consume proper water and sleep. Please suggest?

Dear Doctor, I had tonsillitis last week, and my WBC was 17x10000/L. After taking the prescribed medication and no longer experiencing a sore throat last Thursday, I repeated my blood test on Tuesday, and my WBC has decreased to 13x10000/L. Although it has come down, it is still above the normal range. Could you please advise if this rate of reduction is normal and whether I should be concerned?
