My son has been suffering from a fever for the past 2 months. We have consulted a doctor, but there has been no significant relief. For the past 6 to 7 days, he has also been experiencing constipation. His blood reports are mostly normal, his platelet count is 1,05,000, and haemoglobin is 13.5. The fever is not daily but typically appears between 12 to 3 PM. We have given him Meftagesic Plus, Calpol, and Ibugesic, but the fever keeps returning twice a week.

Recurrent fever needs further evaluation. Slightly low platelets could be due to a past viral infection. If basic tests are normal, your doctor may recommend infection markers or imaging.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a DENGUE PROFILE (NS1/IgG/IgM) - RAPID Test

Please clarify my report. Is my CBC report normal or not? Can you also clarify my thyroid test report? Is there any problem?

I consulted doctors, and based on laboratory investigation, my WBC count was found to be lower than the reference range, i.e., 3100.

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?
