Brief Answer: Post viral infection status, dont worry Detailed Answer: Dear sir/ madam Welcome to healthcare magic I read your quiery and reviewed your reports, one thing I can tell you that you are in post infective recovery state where the concentrations of IGG will be more and IgM will be less.. it is a recovery phase and every other parameters are normal.. but you didnt do your platelet count estimation, it is a vital But as per noe you dont need to worry, continue your current antibiotics and other medicines as per the indication. Eat good and healthy diet Everything will be fine Thanks
