I'm really worried about my wife. Her hemoglobin level is at 6.5, and she's also been dealing with chickenpox for the past two days. What's the best way to help increase her hemoglobin level during this time?

I recently did a random blood test because I was feeling kind of light-headed, and the results got me a bit worried. My neutrophil count is at 80%, lymphocytes are at 15%, and my total WBC count is 10500. I'm 18, so I'm not sure if these numbers are normal for someone my age. Could you help me understand what this might mean?

I've been really concerned because for the past year, my platelet count has been stuck between 70 and 100, and my MPV is over 14. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can get my platelet levels back to normal. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?

I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.
