Question 1

Last year I had dengue, and again 3 months ago, I contracted dengue. To monitor my health, I usually get a CBC done every 30 to 45 days, and I have noticed that my lymphocyte count is gradually increasing, initially it was 20.6 percent, then 36 percent, and now it is 48 percent, which is worrying me. My current symptoms include numbness and cramps in the hands, occasional pain in the armpits, and ear pain. I also go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a day, usually after breakfast or lunch. Please guide me on whether this is serious, the further steps I should take, and if possible, suggest a diet to maintain healthy lymphocyte levels. I am attaching my CBC lab reports for your reference.

Question 2

After completing treatment for malaria with Doxycycline and Artesunate, my fever still has not gone away. My temperature ranges between 99 to 102. All my blood reports are normal except for the Widal test, as you can see in the report. I also took Ofloxacin for 10 days, but the fever persists. In addition, my digestion is becoming weak. Could this be something else?

Question 3

My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.

The cyst seen post D&C may be causing your pain. Retention cysts often resolve, but size and symptoms like pain must be watched. If pain persists or worsens, further treatment or surgical follow up may be needed. Planning pregnancy in 3 months is generally fine, but allow time for full recovery.
