Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a local infection. It could be Mononucleosis or a sinus infection. For this reason, besides complete blood count, it is necessary checking for Mononucleosis, performing a throat discharge bacterial culture and also a sinus X-ray study for sinus infection.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
