Is it possible for blood test results to be incorrect?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

It has been almost 2 months that I have been suffering from cough and cold. My blood report indicates a cold infection. Even after completing the course of antibiotics, I have not found much relief. I still have terrible coughing fits at times, which sometimes cause me to choke. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Sir or Mam, seven months ago I started having tightening and pain on the left side of my body, including my chest. I have taken a PFT, and my report shows early small airway obstruction. I have visited many doctors, but they have neglected it. I am still suffering from this.
