Question 1

I'm wondering if it's okay for someone with typhoid, or someone who's just getting over it, to stay in an air-conditioned room. Is it safe or should it be avoided? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is safe for a typhoid patient, or someone recovering from typhoid, to sit in an air-conditioned room. It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature for the patient. Additionally, staying in a cool environment can help reduce fever and promote overall comfort during recovery.

Question 2

My dad's latest report showed a super high level of pus cells, the last count was 8090 but now it's labeled as field packed. What exactly does "field packed" mean for pus cells? I'm really concerned and would appreciate some insight.

Question 3

I'm just a bit concerned about my vitamin D levels. I checked them last month and they were really low. I'm curious, can I improve my vitamin D levels if I get some sunlight in the evening? Or is it only effective in the morning?

Accepted Answer

Elevated SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) Levels

_Interpretation_

1. _Mild elevation_: Your SGOT (53) and SGPT (67) levels are mildly elevated.
2. _Possible causes_: Elevated liver enzymes can be caused by various factors, including:
    - Fatty liver disease
    - Viral hepatitis (A, B, C, or E)
    - Medication side effects
    - Muscle damage or exercise
    - Other medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, celiac disease)

_Next Steps_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your elevated liver enzymes.
2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may order further tests, such as:
    - Liver function tests (LFTs) to monitor enzyme levels
    - Hepatitis A, B, and C screenings
    - Ultrasound or other imaging tests to evaluate liver health
    - Blood tests to rule out other medical conditions
3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including:
    - A balanced diet
    - Regular exercise
    - Adequate sleep
    - Stress management

_Reassurance_

1. _Hepatitis and cirrhosis are unlikely_: Given your age, lifestyle, and absence of symptoms, hepatitis and cirrhosis are less likely.
2. _Further evaluation is necessary_: A thorough medical evaluation will help determine the cause of your elevated liver enzymes.
