I have been suffering from a retropharyngeal abscess for over a month and have received IVIG treatment. My recent blood report shows abnormal results, and I need urgent advice on what to do next.

Post IVIG and abscess, abnormal bloods could indicate inflammation or lingering infection. CBC, CRP, and imaging are key. Ensure follow up with ENT.

I consulted doctors, and based on laboratory investigation, my WBC count was found to be lower than the reference range, i.e., 3100.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having repeated CBC tests over the past 9 months. My WBC count has consistently been between 12,500 to 14,000 and platelets between 100,000 to 150,000, but on two occasions when I had a peripheral blood smear, the report was normal. Tests for HCV, HBsAg, RBC, HIV, Dengue, VDRL, MP, and Vidal were all normal. I do not have any significant symptoms. Could you please advise what I should do going forward? Can I consider myself healthy, or is there a need for further investigation?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am experiencing stomach pain and severe pain just below my chest. All my reports are normal except the blood report, which showed a blood infection with a count of about 22,000 and enthesitis with a value of 65, causing itching on my entire legs.
