How to get rid of iron deficiency?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a habit of eating rice frequently, and I also tend to fall sick often. I usually feel very weak and experience pain in my hands and legs. The last time I got my hemoglobin tested, it was 9.1. Can you please suggest a diet plan to help me improve my immunity and feel healthier?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 22 year old male suffering from hormonal acne. My blood report shows RBC count 6.71 (high), MCV 72.3 (low), MCH 22.8 (low), RDW-CV 18.4 (high), and the remaining blood report is normal. Which strength of isotretinoin should I use? Please prescribe the dosage.
