Question 1

What causes a low RDW in a hematology test?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I had cold, cough, and fever two weeks ago. I consulted a doctor who prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin 625 mg), Paracetamol 500 mg, and Ascoril cough syrup. After a week, the cold and cough continued with a runny nose, so he gave me some cold tablets for two days, which helped temporarily. Now, I am again experiencing severe cold, cough, chills, and a temperature of 97 to 99F since yesterday. Today, I consulted the doctor again, and he recommended some blood and urine tests. I have attached the reports. He is asking me to take IV therapy daily for four days along with more antibiotics. I shared my medical history, and he suggested getting a second opinion from you regarding this treatment. Should I continue treatment with him, or should I go to a bigger hospital? Please advise.

I have had constant chest pain since being diagnosed with myocarditis in May 2016. My report mentions mild heart scarring and possible pericardial thickening. I would like to know if this chest pain is something I will always experience from now on?

Mild scarring may cause occasional discomfort, but persistent chest pain needs evaluation. Follow up with a cardiologist is advised.
