My father is 69 years old and is recovering from a post pneumonia lung infection. He has high blood pressure and diabetes, for which he takes daily medication. We did a blood test, and the report shows, platelets is 5.20 lacs, haemoglobin is 10.8, Serum SGOT is 99.33, Serum SGPT is 57.40, and D Dimer Quantification is 2544.47. What other tests should be done? Is this condition dangerous as the D Dimer is very high along with elevated platelets, SGOT, and SGPT? Last month, his platelets were 2.72 lacs.

Elevated D dimer may indicate ongoing clot risk. Liver enzymes are likely from infection or medications. Needs urgent follow up due to high D dimer.

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?

For the last 20 days I have been feeling dizziness. My eyes and ears are fine. But my blood report shows my eosinophils are slightly high at about 7. Can this be the reason for the dizziness? Will I always have eosinophilia? How can it be cured permanently? Am I at higher risk of eosinophilia in the future?

My daughter has a stomachache. The test reports show mild hepatomegaly and a few reactive mesenteric lymph nodes on the USG report. Her complete blood report shows neutrophils 34 percent (normal 45 to 70 percent) and lymphocytes 64 percent (normal 25 to 45 percent).
