My 5 year daughter has premature white hair around 30. Her B12 test report is 890. Doctor prescribed placentrex gel, octomop tablet two times a week and B complex with vitamin C syrup. I am very worried as her B12 is already high. My husband also had premature white hair in school. Kindly suggest. Should I stop medication? Is any other test required? How to stop white hair?

A B12 level of 890 is not toxic, but if no deficiency symptoms are present, supplementation may be paused. Genetics could be involved. Consider a thyroid and iron panel for further assessment.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Ferritin Test Test

What does it mean if RDW is about 15.1?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from recurrent oral ulcers since December. Currently, only two marks remain. I have consulted a dentist, general physician, and ENT surgeon. All said these are aphthous ulcers. Blood tests are normal, and biopsy was not recommended. My Vitamin B12 is now 271 after taking B12 injections and Rinifol. There is no pain like before, but the ulcers persist. What can I do to get rid of this problem permanently?
