My 8 month old niece has had a persistent fever for the past 2 weeks. It normalizes when given antipyretics but recurs every 8 to 10 hours. She has a normal diet but sometimes skips meals. She has also vomited 2 to 3 times. A blood test report showed a high lymphocyte count of 58. She traveled about 400 km last week, although comfortably. Could this affect her condition? What could be the reason, and what do you suggest? Thank you in advance.

A high lymphocyte count usually points to a viral infection, which is common in children. Since the fever persists for two weeks, further evaluation is needed to rule out other causes. Consult a pediatrician soon.

I am 67 years old and have been experiencing chest pain. My blood report shows a low count of monocytes, and my chest X ray shows no signs of any problem. I believe the chest pain might be due to acidity.

I have been having light bleeding for a month. The doctor has advised me to take Pause MF to stop the bleeding. I have taken all hormonal tests, PCOD, and thyroid tests, and everything is within the normal range. Can I take Pause MF to stop the bleeding? For how many days can I take it?

I have got my blood report which shows a WBC count of 115,000 with a decreased amount of lymphocytes. I constantly experience fever, cough, breathing problems, and sometimes stomach issues.
