Question 1

In my test report dated 1 August, my iron level was 32, hemoglobin was 12.5, and weight was 58.9 kg. I started taking medicine for iron deficiency. Today I got my test done and my hemoglobin has reduced to 11 and my weight is 58 kg. What is the reason for the reduced weight and hemoglobin? Also, every evening my body temperature rises to 99 to 100. What is the reason?

Question 2

For the past one month, I have been feeling fatigued and experiencing a low grade fever. My recent investigations include LFT, KFT, and CBC, which showed SGPT at 57. My urine report is normal, chest Xray is normal, Mantoux test is negative, and whole abdomen ultrasound is normal. My body temperature ranges from 96F to 100.2F. I am unsure about the cause of my symptoms and would like to know the possible reason and which specialist I should consult.

Question 3

My father has been suffering from cough, fever, and breathing difficulties for the past few days. He is also not eating properly due to taste issues. We are awaiting his COVID 19 test report. Meanwhile, could you please advise what medications he can take and what precautions we should follow?

I have had a fever for the past 10 days. My Widal test report shows 1:20 L negative. Does this mean it is typhoid or not, doctor?

A Widal titre of 1:20 is too low to confirm typhoid. The fever may be due to a viral illness or another infection. Its best to consult your doctor for additional testing and diagnosis if the fever continues.
