Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?

This combo is correct for controlling bleeding. Dose: Tranexamic Acid 500 mg TID + Mefenamic Acid 250 mg TID for 3 to 5 days. Do not exceed without gynecologist supervision.

My son had a fever (100F) which subsided in 2 to 3 days. After 4 days, he developed red rashes all over his body. On the doctor advice, we got a CBC test along with IgM and IgG tests, IgM was positive. Within 3 days, the rashes disappeared. The CBC report showed some variations (low PCV, MCV, neutrophils), though platelets were near normal. The doctor advised hydration and close monitoring, mentioning it is a mild infection that can become severe. He has been active and playing normally. After 2 days, repeat CBC showed hemoglobin and PCV were increasing. After another 3 days, hemoglobin was higher, PCV remained high, and IgM was still positive. We are worried about these rising trends, though he remains active. Should we hospitalize him or continue care at home?

Good Evening, Doctor. My mother recent blood report shows an elevated PDW value. Should we be concerned and get it checked further? She is also going through menopause (her periods stopped around 4 months ago). Could this be related? I have attached the report for your review. Thank you in advance.
