My sister has been experiencing fever on and off for the past 5 days. She has no other symptoms besides the intermittent fever. I am attaching her blood report. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have attached my husband blood test report. Some of the values are: MCH 35.2 pg, lymphocytes 46.5 percent, eosinophils 6.4 percent, and RDW SD 49.5 fL. The other investigations are shown in the attachment. He recently had a stomach infection. Could you please review the report and suggest if there is anything to be concerned about?

My 20 month old baby has been having a fever for the past week, mostly in the evenings. The fever stopped for 2 days but then returned again. We have already done blood and urine tests, and both reports appear to be normal.
