I am having recurring mouth ulcers and my blood report shows serum iron as 60 ug per dl. Can this be the cause of the ulcers?

Yes, low or borderline iron levels can cause frequent mouth ulcers. Consider iron rich foods and consult your doctor for supplements if needed. Vitamin deficiency can also cause ulcers

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Serum Iron test Test or Take a VITAMIN B12 AND FOLATE Test

Dear doctor, recently I fell sick and had fever and body pain. In fact, all my family members fell sick. My mother was diagnosed as dengue and typhoid positive. My daughters completely recovered. Their blood test results were negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid. I was the last one to get sick. My test results for typhoid and malaria turned negative. On 02 Dec, Dengue IgM was negative (1.39 units) and IgG was equivocal (20.06 units) with platelets 1.40 lakhs/cmm. On 04 Dec, I again took a retest without my doctor knowledge. The results this time were: Dengue IgM 3.20 units (negative), IgG 52.46 units (positive), platelets 1.38 lakhs/cmm. Is there anything to be worried about, doctor? I would be glad if someone can explain why the IgG values have doubled? Thanks.

Hello Doctor, My baby is 11 months old and had a fever for the past week. We consulted a doctor and she took Amoxycillin for 5 days. For the last three days, there was no fever, but she still had cough and cold. Now the fever has returned with a temperature of 99F. For cold we are using Moticope drops, and for cough, Korafast drops. We did a blood test, and the results are normal. I am very worried about why the fever has returned. I am attaching the blood test report for reference.
