I have got my blood report which shows a WBC count of 115,000 with a decreased amount of lymphocytes. I constantly experience fever, cough, breathing problems, and sometimes stomach issues.

My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.

Hi, I got tested three days ago. I noticed some readings in the report that seem imbalanced, but I am not sure if it is something to worry about or if I need any medication.
