Since she already takes medicines for diabetes and BP, her heel pain could be related to long term strain or minor side effects. A dry cough could be due to pollen allergy or seasonal allergy. Nothing alarming, but please consult your doctor with the blood report to assess further.

My mother, aged 52, was recently admitted to the hospital and received treatment for fever. The final diagnosis mentioned enteric fever and acute febrile illness. Her blood report shows a white blood cell count of 12,300 cells per cumm and a platelet count of 5.38 lakhs per cumm. I would like to understand what this could indicate. Is this a serious condition, and should we consult a hematologist?
