I recently had some blood tests done, and I'm a bit confused about the results. My serum globulin came back at 4.07, but I thought the normal range was between 23.5 and something else. Also, my blood urea nitrogen is 5.27, which seems low since I heard it should be between 7 and 21. My vitamin D level is also a bit low at 10.53, but my doctor said it's not a big deal and just advised me to take a supplement. Does all this sound okay to you, or should I be worried about these levels?

Your doctor has prescribed you a vitamin D supplement to address the low levels. For your serum globulin level, you can consider taking over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin at a standard dose of 10mg once daily. And for your blood urea nitrogen level, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming foods rich in antioxidants like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables.

I'm really concerned about this recent weight loss I've experienced. I was prescribed Phlogam to help with my sinus pain, and I've been taking it along with antibiotics for about a month now. I've lost about 2 kilograms since I started. Could Phlogam be the reason for this weight loss? Any insight would be appreciated.

There is no relation between them,

I'm wondering if it's okay to take OMEED with Cheston cold tablets. The pharmacist at Apollo Pharmacy said it was alright, but I just want to make sure it's safe. Is there anything I should be worried about combining these two?

I'm a 32-year-old guy and I've been dealing with something odd for a while. My body, especially my hands, always feel really hot, and people often ask me if I have a fever when I shake their hands. This has been going on for many years and I'm starting to get worried. Could there be something going on with my health? Any advice would be appreciated.

it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating that can make your body feel hot. I recommend trying anticholinergic medications such as Glycopyrrolate. This medication can help reduce excessive sweating and make you feel more comfortable. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that may worsen your symptoms.
