I'm experiencing a sore throat, night fevers, and sweating a lot. I've also lost my appetite and have body aches. My left leg is swollen and feels really hard to move, which is making it tough to sleep and wake up. My urine showed bacteria, and I had a Mantoux test done. They mentioned my ESR is raised, and my calcium levels are lower than normal. What could be going on with my health?

I'm taking HCQS tablets in the morning and at night for synovitis treatment, but I recently noticed during a routine blood test that my iron levels are low. Is there a particular iron supplement I can take alongside HCQS without worrying about any interactions?
You can consider taking ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate iron supplements, which are generally well-tolerated and less likely to interact with HCQS
