I am 29 years old and have had fever, cold, and cough for the past five days. I visited our family doctor, who prescribed medicines, but there has been no major improvement. She advised me to do some blood and urine tests. My report is as follows: SGPT: 26, CRP: 9, Hb: 13.6, TC: 5730, Neutrophils: 73, Lymphocytes: 20, ESR: 10, Platelets: 177,000, MP: Not Seen. Urine: pH 6.5, Protein: Nil, Sugar: Nil, BP: Nil, Pus: Nil, RBC: Nil. I also have a vitamin B12 deficiency, and the doctor prescribed Autrin 30 capsule. My RBC count is 4.65, showing mild macrocytosis. I want to know if my vitamin B12 deficiency is the reason I am experiencing cold, cough, and fever.

Cold, cough, and fever are usually due to infections, not B12 deficiency. Your CRP is mildly raised, suggesting low grade inflammation. Vitamin B12 deficiency may explain mild macrocytosis but not your current illness. Continue Autrin and monitor symptoms.

Hello, My mother has had a fever for the past 4 days along with a cough. Her latest test results show a platelet count of 99, blood sugar around 300, and CRP of 28.43. I have attached the test report for reference.

Patchy inflammation in both upper lobes as I was detected covid positive twenty days earlier. Now my report is negative but I still have some heaviness in the chest. CRP is 11.10 and IL6 is 23.58. Should I go for steroids as suggested by doctors or should I wait and manage with steaming and turmeric milk. Will I recover on my own?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and had a fever. The doctor gave me a blood test, and I am sending my report. I have a low TWBC count in my blood. Is this a problem for me or my baby?
