Typhoid usually causes fever, belly pain and tiredness for 7 to 14 days. Take the full antibiotic course, eat light soft food, and rest. If fever persists beyond 3 days on treatment, retest to be sure the germ is clearing.

Hi, my husband is 39 years old. He has had viral fever with cold and cough for the past 3 days. He took medication and the fever has now reduced. His blood reports are normal, no malaria or typhoid. Yesterday his platelet count was 1.51 and WBC was 7,200. He was given papaya leaf tablets and papaya. Today, his platelet count increased to 1.67, but his WBC decreased to 5,800. Is it normal for WBC to drop like this during viral fever?

I got my blood test done today, and after receiving the report, I noticed that only my lymphocyte count and ESR are outside the reference range. My lymphocyte count is 48, and my ESR is 28. I would like to know if this is something to be concerned about or if I need to take any medication for it.

I recently had some tests done, and my report shows lymphocytes at 3,249. Is this level normal? If not, what should I do?
