Question 1

I recently had a routine blood test, and my results are:
RBC count: 5.79 million/microL
Hemoglobin: 17.2 g/dL
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW): 51.8
Do these results require medical attention? If yes, which specialist should I consult?

Question 2

I have no allergic symptoms but slight pain in neck and back muscles while doing computer work. Appetite, motion, and sleep are all normal. I did this blood test myself as I do it every year for a health checkup. I have had COVID twice, in May (moderate) and January (mild). No hospitalization or steroids were used. Please guide me based on the blood report?

Question 3

I experience evening shivering, fever, headache, and body pain. My blood report taken on Friday was normal, with no positive results for malaria or typhoid. Still, the fever returns daily in the evening with shivering, and after taking Dolo 650, it calms down for 3 to 4 hours. I started Lumerex 80 mg yesterday. Please advise if hospital admission is required?

Why are one's lymphocyte cells at 49%?

If the lymphocytes are 49% then it indicates that your body is fighting with infection or a disease. For further clarification you can speak with your doctor.
