Hi, For the past two days, I have been noticing yellow mucus when I spit for the first time in the morning. Last month, I had a complete blood test done, and the only abnormality was slightly elevated lymphocytes. I have Gilbert syndrome and vitamin B12 deficiency, while my vitamin D levels are normal. I have also been experiencing pain in both knees for the past 15 days. I got an Xray done, but the doctor said everything looks normal. I am currently taking Shelcal HD and A to Z daily. Could this indicate any inflammation or infection in my body? Is yellow mucus in the first spit normal?

Yellow mucus in the morning can be normal, often due to mild nasal drip or throat clearing while sleeping. It does not always indicate infection if there is no fever or worsening symptoms. Slightly high lymphocytes are common and not concerning alone. For knee pain, continue light stretching and use supportive footwear. If knee pain persists, check Vitamin D, B12 and uric acid levels if not done recently. Stay hydrated and continue your current supplements.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a VITAMIN B12 Test or Take a 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test

View allI have been experiencing continuous chest pain and back pain for the past 3 months. The pain feels like a burning/healing sensation, and I also have slight dizziness. I took Acidfelex for 4 months but it did not help. I already had cardiac tests done, and everything was fine. I also consulted an ENT doctor for the dizziness. What could be the problem, and how can it be diagnosed

Hi, my blood report shows predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes, anisocytosis. Could you please let me know what does this mean? Thank you in advance.

Hi doctor, in March 2021 I fell on my knee while playing sports. I waited for 3 months and still had some pain, so I visited an orthopedic in June. Without any lab test for vitamin D, the orthopedic prescribed 60000 IU syrup per day for 11 continuous days. This led to a vitamin D level of 120 ng/ml. It has been 5 months and I still have several symptoms from July until now. I have a feeling of my head shaking, headaches, hand tremors, eye twitching, knee and muscle pains, chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, twitching like tremor all over the body, weakness, and very hot urine. My serum calcium level has been between 10.5 and 11 mg/dl for the past 5 months, now 11 mg/dl. Vitamin D now is 46 ng/ml. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is 75.67 pg/ml. Uric acid has been between 9.6 and 7 mg/dl, now 7 mg/dl. Creatinine is 0.9 mg/dl. Vitamin B12 is 196 pg/ml. Thyroid: T3 is 0.85 ng/ml, T4 is 6.88 ug/dl, TSH is 3.82 uIU/ml. Blood pH is 8.6. Magnesium is 1.6 mg/dl. What could be the cause of these ongoing symptoms and what should I do?
