Question 1

I want to understand how to interpret the results of my CBC and metabolic panel. Some values came back abnormal, and I am unsure if they are concerning. My results are:
Neutrophils: 84.6 percent (normal range 42.2 to 75.2)
Lymphocytes: 8.6 percent (20.5 to 51.5)
Eosinophils: 0.3 percent (0.7 to 7.8)
Calcium: 10.3 mg/dL (8.4 to 10.2)
Alkaline phosphatase: 121 (40 to 120)
For reference, I have hypothyroidism and hirsutism. I am taking levothyroxine and spironolactone, and recently stopped hydrochlorothiazide.

Question 2

My son had a fever (100F) which subsided in 2 to 3 days. After 4 days, he developed red rashes all over his body. On the doctor advice, we got a CBC test along with IgM and IgG tests, IgM was positive. Within 3 days, the rashes disappeared. The CBC report showed some variations (low PCV, MCV, neutrophils), though platelets were near normal. The doctor advised hydration and close monitoring, mentioning it is a mild infection that can become severe.
He has been active and playing normally. After 2 days, repeat CBC showed hemoglobin and PCV were increasing. After another 3 days, hemoglobin was higher, PCV remained high, and IgM was still positive.
We are worried about these rising trends, though he remains active. Should we hospitalize him or continue care at home?

Question 3

Hi, I am 5 months pregnant with my first baby. In my recent blood test, my platelet count has risen to 700,000, and my WBC is 11,200, which seems high. My doctor has advised me to do PT, APTT, INR, and Hb electrophoresis and to consult a hematologist. This is the first time my platelet count has been elevated, my last report was completely normal. Could this change be related to pregnancy? I am unsure how to proceed and would like guidance, as all my other reports are normal.

I am suffering from cold and fever. Please help me understand if my report is normal? Please reply, I shall be very thankful to you sir.

Cold and fever are usually viral and settle on their own. Rest, fluids, and fever medicine help. If symptoms persist or report shows infection, consult for antibiotics. Share report if you are still unwell after 2 to 3 days.
