My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.

Ongoing fever with body pain and headache for 15 days needs further tests since COVID and malaria tests are negative. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) can help check for infections. Urine Routine and Culture can help rule out urine infection, which is common postpartum. If fever persists, Chest Xray may help check for hidden infections. Continue monitoring temperature and hydration, and consult your doctor with these reports for further treatment.

Is it possible for blood test results to be incorrect?

I recently had fever and body pains that did not improve with Dolo and antibiotics, so I visited a doctor for a check up. During this, I found that my hemoglobin has dropped significantly, it was 12.4 six months ago. I am unsure of the reason for this drop and would like to know if my current report is normal.

My mother is 57 years old and has been receiving treatment at AIIMS Hospital for the past 17 years. She was fine until a month ago, but since then, she has developed a dry cough. She has taken all the medicines prescribed by the AIIMS doctor, but there has been no improvement. Her blood report is normal. The cough is not continuous, but when it starts, it becomes unstoppable for a while. Because of the cough, she also feels pain in her throat. She is taking a cough syrup called Grilinctus. Please suggest what we should do.
