I'm really puzzled about my C-reactive protein levels. My latest test showed it at 7.5 mgL, and the lab says the normal range is up to 8 mgL. Converted, it's 0.75 mgdL. I've been doing regular check-ups, but some of the doctors on Practo are suggesting that my CRP level is high, and even recommending antibiotics. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my results or if the lab has a different standard. Why would doctors say my CRP is high? Is there a mistake?

I've been taking Evion LC because it was prescribed to me, but I've been feeling a bit down since starting it. Do you think I should try switching to Evion 400?

It is unlikely that the symptoms of depression you are experiencing could be related to Evion LC. Evion LC contains a combination of Vitamin E and Levocarnitine. You can discuss with your doctor about switching to Evion 400, which contains only Vitamin E. The usual dosage of Evion 400 is 400 IU once daily. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.
