I have had neck muscle and some joint pain for the past four months, followed by headache and fatigue all day. I got a CBC done, which showed high atypical lymphocytes, and then I had a peripheral blood smear done. Are these reports normal?

Neck pain, fatigue, and headache with atypical lymphocytes suggest a post viral condition or mild inflammation. Atypical lymphocytes can appear in viral infections, stress, or autoimmune issues. If peripheral smear is normal, it rules out serious blood disorders. Track symptoms and get a full review if fatigue and pain persist.

Take a ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

My recent blood report shows hemoglobin of 10.1 g/dL, ESR of 15 mm/hr, PCV of 32.6 percent, Salmonella Typhi O at 1:80, Salmonella Typhi H at 1:80, and CRP at 16.3 IU/mL. I have been experiencing watery diarrhea and high fever for the past three days. Additionally, I underwent hip surgery with screws a month ago. Could this be stomach flu, or should I be concerned about typhoid or another infection?
