Question 1

My blood test report shows 0 percent monocytes. Is this a cause for concern? What possible medical conditions could be associated with this finding? Other counts, including lymphocytes, are within the normal range, but eosinophils are 7 percent.

Question 2

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?

Question 3

I get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?

I want to know the reason for my high red blood cell count?

There can be multiple reasons for high blood cell count. Primarily due to low oxygen levels, certain medications and cancer
