I have noticed some solid lumps below my tongue. I went for blood tests for CBP and ESR, and the results are: Hemoglobin: 17.8 RBC count: 5.73 Hematocrit: 49.2 MCV: 86.0 MCH: 31.1 MCHC: 36.2 RDW: 11.3 Platelets: 2.91 TLC: 6500 ESR: 6.0 My hemoglobin, RBC, MCHC, and RDW are above the expected range. Could this cause any problems? Please suggest what I should do.

Slightly raised red blood parameters often point to dehydration or smoking effect. If no symptoms, no need to worry. Oral lumps need a dental/ENT review.

My wife is experiencing headache, body pain, lower abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. Two months ago, she had low platelets and typhoid, but was treated and diagnosed at that time. Now she is having similar problems again. Recently, her hematology tests were done, including CRP, ESR, CBC, and routine urine examination. I have attached the test reports for your reference. Please advise on the next steps.

I am 37 years old and have had irregular periods for the past two years. Once my periods start they do not stop for 15 days. My report shows 12 mm endometrium thickness and a bulky uterus. I am now on the 13th day of bleeding. I have been prescribed Musli Kairadi Kashayam with Prawal Bhasma before food and Kutajarishtam 15 ml after food. Is it fine to take?
