Question 1

Hi, my husband is 39 years old. He has had viral fever with cold and cough for the past 3 days. He took medication and the fever has now reduced. His blood reports are normal, no malaria or typhoid. Yesterday his platelet count was 1.51 and WBC was 7,200. He was given papaya leaf tablets and papaya. Today, his platelet count increased to 1.67, but his WBC decreased to 5,800. Is it normal for WBC to drop like this during viral fever?

Question 2

I have been experiencing extreme weakness and fatigue. This started after I had a cough and lung infection in January due to dust. The cough reduced within a week, and everything seemed normal. I have thyroid and take 25 mcg, and my thyroid levels were checked in March and were under good control. Since recovering from the cough, I have lost weight and continue to feel very weak. I was already underweight at 45 kg, and now I am 43 kg. My blood tests from March were normal.
