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 ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

My mother tested COVID+ on 28/08/20. She has not repeated the test. Her latest blood report shows CRP higher than 0.20 and serum ferritin 130 (screenshot attached). She still feels weak and has gastric issues. Could you please suggest some diet tips or a tonic to improve her strength?

Hello, please check my report and tell me if everything is okay. What does an increased MPV mean? And why is my RBC count also increased?
