Your mom's high white blood cell count shows there could be an infection. After her hernia surgery, you'll want to tackle that. Doctors usually suggest a blood culture test to pinpoint the infection source. High WBC can bring fever, fatigue, and discomfort. Treating the infection should lower her WBC count. Make certain she finishes all her antibiotics as prescribed to help get that WBC in check before her procedure.

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles. Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.

Growths of lymph nodes in the abdomen can be your body reacting to an infection. The lymph nodes sometimes blow up half their size, 14 x 10 millimeters, and have dead parts called necrosis. You may experience a feeling of pain or pressure in your abdomen. The doctor can treat you with antibiotics or other remedies according to the cause found as treatment.

If you suspect you might have anemia, regardless of your age, it's important to inform your doctor. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells, leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and feeling cold. Iron deficiency or other underlying health issues can cause anemia. To address this, you may need to eat iron-rich foods like spinach, meat, and beans. Consult your doctor about iron supplements that can help boost your red blood cell count and energy levels.
