I'm a bit concerned because my mom, who's strictly vegetarian, has been taking her prescribed medicine, but her vitamin B12 levels are turning out to be quite high. Should this be a concern?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High vitamin B12 levels can sometimes be a cause for concern, as it may indicate certain health conditions such as liver disease, kidney failure, or certain types of leukemia. However, in many cases, high vitamin B12 levels may not be harmful and can be due to factors such as dietary supplements or injections. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and decide on the appropriate course of action.

I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?
you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following: *General Guidance* 1. *Monitor fever*: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening. 2. *Dolo dosage*: Ensure you're taking the recommended dose (500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours) and not exceeding the maximum daily limit (4000 mg). 3. *Duration*: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention. *Blood Test Considerations* Consider a blood test if you experience: 1. *Severe headache* 2. *Confusion or disorientation* 3. *Difficulty breathing* 4. *Severe abdominal pain* 5. *Vomiting or diarrhea* 6. *Fever above 103F (39.4C)* 7. *Fever lasting more than 4 days*
