I'm a bit worried because I had dengue a couple of months back and recovered, but recently I've been experiencing some pain behind my knee, specifically in the popliteal fossa area, especially when I stretch or walk, and my heel is hurting too. My platelet count is at 2 lakh now, which I hope is fine. I'm also losing a lot of hair and have started taking ADHAIR tablets after seeing a dermatologist. Do you think these symptoms could be signs of dengue coming back, or is it something else?

-The pain you're experiencing now doesn't seem like a recurrence of dengue, especially with a normal platelet count. It could be related to other factors like muscle strain or stress on joints, and the hair loss might be due to postpartum or other underly

I'm dealing with costochondritis and I'm really feeling some pain around my rib. I've noticed a small lump above the skin on my rib too. Is this possibly a sign of cancer? I'm quite worried.
Its understandable to be concerned, but costochondritis typically causes rib pain due to inflammation of the cartilage, not cancer. The small lump you noticed could be a benign cyst or muscle-related, but its always a good idea to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any other concerns and get peace of mind.

I'm 20 and dealing with a connective tissue disorder. I'm really worried because I've been seeing rusty-colored blood in the morning and coughing up a little blood. The pulmonologist recommended a chest CT scan, and they mentioned that my DNS is normal and "cancapanca" is normal too. But my aPTT is at 30.0 seconds and prothrombin with INR is at 16.1 seconds, and my INR range is 1.36 seconds. My ANA test came back positive. I'm confused about what all these results mean and what could be causing these symptoms. Could you help explain this?
Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
