Will a fever between 98 and 99.8 be considered a fever? One of our friends has had this for 5 months and 20 days. His blood test report shows Hb 13.2 percent, RBC 5 million, WBC 10,600, platelet 2.22 lakhs, and ESR 25. Could this lead to cancer?

Chronic low grade fever with ESR elevation needs evaluation for infections or autoimmune issues. Cancer unlikely with current counts.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test
