A WBC count of 23,000 indicates a possible bacterial infection or inflammation. Since you also have fever and body pain, this may need antibiotic treatment after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor urgently for further diagnosis and to rule out any serious infections.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

Dear doctor, my father is 51 years old. His recent CBC blood report shows a high eosinophil count. He also experiences itching on some days. The report is attached. Is this normal, and has the eosinophil count returned to normal? Kindly provide your valuable suggestion.

Can we do a CBC test during a period?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am experiencing pain in both hands, which sometimes becomes unbearable. The pain extends from my arms to my fingers and even my palms. According to my blood tests, I do not have any infection or fever (dengue, etc.). I do not understand the reason for this pain. My hands feel very weak, and I am unable to lift or hold any weight. The pain lasts throughout the day and night, but occasionally it becomes extremely severe. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
