This confirms iron deficiency anemia. Continue iron tablets with meals. If fever continues, rule out infection. Use antacids like rabeprazole if there is gastric irritation.

I was infected with COVID in June. I did not do a second test as my doctor advised it was unnecessary. I have been experiencing a sinus infection for the past 20 to 25 days. My CT PNS report does not show any opacity, so my doctor said it is not black fungus. However, my blood report shows high lymphocyte count. Is this lymphocytosis, or is it normal? Please advise. I have attached my blood test report for reference.

My blood report shows IgG positive, IgM negative, and NS1 negative. I have been having a fever for three days. Please clarify what this means for my dengue status.
