Hello Sir, I have been experiencing fever for the last 10 days, along with muscle and joint pain. My blood report shows that my monocyte level is elevated to 15. I am very worried, could this be a symptom of something serious like cancer?

What to Know About High Monocyte Count

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My 8 month old niece has had a persistent fever for the past 2 weeks. It normalizes when given antipyretics but recurs every 8 to 10 hours. She has a normal diet but sometimes skips meals. She has also vomited 2 to 3 times. A blood test report showed a high lymphocyte count of 58. She traveled about 400 km last week, although comfortably. Could this affect her condition? What could be the reason, and what do you suggest? Thank you in advance.
