Hello. I've had a moderate headache and fever along with it. Along with it, a sore throat was there. After a day, the fever and headache subsided. But a few other symptoms popped up like pain at certain points on the fingertips of the thumb and index finger. And a specific point of the ball of my foot also pained while walking, on either of my feet. On top of that, small bumps had formed along the sides of my little finger which was spreading. I have consulted the doctor and took a cbc test. After doing the test, I noticed that at the back of my tongue there were a few lumps and my throat was a bit reddened than usual. On the reports, everything came out to be normal, except the monocyte level which came out to be 12.2. Is there something that I should be concerned about?
