I recently had fever and body pains that did not improve with Dolo and antibiotics, so I visited a doctor for a check up. During this, I found that my hemoglobin has dropped significantly, it was 12.4 six months ago. I am unsure of the reason for this drop and would like to know if my current report is normal.

Sudden drop in hemoglobin after fever may indicate previous infection that reduced immunity of body and dropped the Hb levels. Iron profile and repeat CBC may be helpful. Please share exact current value.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

My father, who is diabetic, has been suffering from chronic cough for some time, especially in cool air. Recently, he developed high fever, and the doctor diagnosed him with pneumonia, prescribing tablets and syrup. He experienced relief from the cough for 2 days, but now he has a persistent dry cough that sometimes prevents him from sleeping at night. He continues to take both pneumonia and diabetes medications. Sleeping in a cooler worsens his cough. He had slight relief after stopping diabetes medications for a day, but it was minimal. The doctor recommended a sputum test, but he is unable to produce sputum. What should be the next steps?
