Question 1

Yesterday, my father underwent fistula surgery. That night, he developed a fever. His blood report shows an increased WBC count. Could this be a sign of COVID 19? Please suggest what we should do.

Question 2

Dear doctor, recently I fell sick and had fever and body pain. In fact, all my family members fell sick. My mother was diagnosed as dengue and typhoid positive. My daughters completely recovered. Their blood test results were negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid. I was the last one to get sick. My test results for typhoid and malaria turned negative. On 02 Dec, Dengue IgM was negative (1.39 units) and IgG was equivocal (20.06 units) with platelets 1.40 lakhs/cmm. On 04 Dec, I again took a retest without my doctor knowledge. The results this time were: Dengue IgM 3.20 units (negative), IgG 52.46 units (positive), platelets 1.38 lakhs/cmm. Is there anything to be worried about, doctor? I would be glad if someone can explain why the IgG values have doubled? Thanks.

Question 3

Hello doctor, I have lower back pain since evening, along with gastric issues and a lot of tiredness. I was COVID positive 5 months back and I am also a hypochondria patient. I read that lower back pain and tiredness can be related to blood cancer, which makes me scared. My blood report in February was normal. Please suggest genuine advice?

I am 19 weeks pregnant. This is my blood report. In pregnancy, do these levels normally increase? Is it concerning? I have no previous history. Previously, I was on Duphaston and Texid. Currently, I am taking Ecosprin, LMWH 0.4 ml, Susten, and some multivitamins.

Mild changes in blood counts and clotting profiles are common in pregnancy. Since you are on LMWH and ecosprin, regular monitoring is important. Please stay in touch with your obstetrician for review of trends and safety.
