My test report shows MPV as 13.7 and RDW as 16.8. Is this a problem? Could you please suggest?

Both values are mildly elevated and may indicate early changes in platelet function or red blood cell variation. If you are healthy and CBC is otherwise normal, its not alarming. Repeat if symptoms like fatigue or bruising appear.

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
