My son had a severe allergic reaction due to a medicine he took for sudden pain in his leg joints. The reaction appears as red dots all over his legs, which are also painful at times. It looks similar to severe mosquito bites, and there are no purple dots. The doctor indicated a possibility of vasculitis, but the blood report stated otherwise. His rheumatoid factor is 8.5.

RF is normal. Symptoms may be allergic or related to mild vasculitis. Continue follow-up with pediatrician. Avoid the suspected medication. If rashes worsen, seek immediate care.

What happens if monocytes is 2%?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been having a constant headache along with severe throat pain. My WBC count is 14,800.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My RBC count is very high according to my blood report, 8.5 million/cumm. I have not noticed any symptoms yet. Is this a serious problem? Does it require a bone marrow biopsy, or does it indicate low oxygen levels?
