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.

Four days ago, suddenly at midnight, I developed full body red rashes and itching. I consulted a doctor, and they said it was due to a food allergy. I had no fever, headache, or joint pain that day. My CBC blood report was normal, but my fingers and palms were slightly swollen. I have been continuing the prescribed medicines for the last four days. It is improving day by day compared to previous days. Today is the fifth day. After taking medicine, the itching and rashes go away for the full day, but every evening, I get very mild rashes and itching. Is this okay for now? Will it take time to cure? How many more days should I continue the medicine? Now I feel some pain in two or three fingers on my hand. Is this joint pain? I am scared about dengue or chikungunya. Is there anything to worry about? Please advise.

My blood report shows RBC normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis. WBC shows lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. Platelets are adequate on the smear. What does it mean? Thank you.
