Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Fever, weakness, and lymphocytosis in CBC are suggestive of viral infection. Symptomatic management is done with nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Your physical examination should be done first which includes lymph nodes, spleen, liver palpation, auscultation, etc. Investigate with peripheral smear examination report as well. According to the physical examination, if needed, the doctor will suggest doing further investigation.
If a sore throat, abdominal pain or any other specific symptoms present then inform about that. After recovery from fever, iron tablets are needed to recover from anemia. Provide peripheral smear examination report once done.
Take care. Consult a physician for examination.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
