I'm really low on B12 and I'm wondering what medications I should be taking. Also, can you tell me what Folcure 5 is used for and if there's any reason I should consider Matilda ForteHosit? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

View allI'm feeling really anxious because my platelet count has dropped to 80,000, and just three days ago it was at 85,000. I'm really scaredis this a sign of blood cancer? I don't have a fever or anything like that, so I'm just confused and worried about what's going on.
Many a times , due to dehydration, platelets count comes low. So nothing to worry. I suggest - First increase your oral intake of liquids and water Repeat Blood Test After 15 days Then Only we can conclude anything for the same. Next Steps Take Plenty of Liquids Orally. Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.

I'm looking over my blood report, and it says predominantly normocytic normochromic with microcytes and ovalocytes, and my hemoglobin level is 9.5. Should I be worried about these findings, and what do they actually mean for my health?
The effect of a tetanus vaccine typically lasts for 10 years, after which a booster shot is recommended to maintain immunity . This is regardless of the vaccine's price, which in your case is Rs10. It's great that you're taking proactive steps to ensure your tetanus vaccination is up to date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and medical professionals worldwide agree on the 10-year timeline for booster shots. *Tetanus Vaccine Timeline:* - *Initial Vaccination:* A series of three shots, with the first two given at least four weeks apart, and the third shot given 6 to 12 months after the second . - *Booster Shots:* Every 10 years to maintain immunity [2).

I'm a bit worried because my platelet count has dropped to 110,000, but I don't have any signs of dengue. I've heard that goat milk might help increase platelet levels. Is that true? What can I do to naturally boost my platelet count?
While goat milk is a good source of protein and calcium, there is no scientific evidence to support its role in increasing platelet count. To increase platelet count, you can consider taking medications like "Eltrombopag" at a dosage prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamin K like spinach, kale, and broccoli can also help boost platelet production. Remember to follow your doctor's advice for the best treatment plan.
