I am taking diabetic medication, Uprise D3 weekly, and Rejunex CD3 daily for the last 3 days but I am feeling tired and have a little headache. Do I need to start some medication to increase iron and RBC along with the above medication? My blood report shows iron count 55 and RBC count 4.44.

Fatigue can be due to borderline low iron. Iron supplements may help, especially if ferritin is low. Check for B12 deficiency as well. Please do the required serum ferritin and B12 tests.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a FERRITIN Test or Take a VITAMIN B12 Test

What is the difference between haemogram and CBC?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from recurrent oral ulcers since December. Currently, only two marks remain. I have consulted a dentist, general physician, and ENT surgeon. All said these are aphthous ulcers. Blood tests are normal, and biopsy was not recommended. My Vitamin B12 is now 271 after taking B12 injections and Rinifol. There is no pain like before, but the ulcers persist. What can I do to get rid of this problem permanently?
