Question 1

For the past 30 days, I have been unable to taste or smell anything. Additionally, I am experiencing a strange, unpleasant taste that is the same for all types of food, whether spicy or not. I had a COVID 19 test, which came back negative, and I also underwent blood tests, which I have attached.

Question 2

Hi, For the past two days, I have been noticing yellow mucus when I spit for the first time in the morning. Last month, I had a complete blood test done, and the only abnormality was slightly elevated lymphocytes. I have Gilbert syndrome and vitamin B12 deficiency, while my vitamin D levels are normal. I have also been experiencing pain in both knees for the past 15 days. I got an Xray done, but the doctor said everything looks normal. I am currently taking Shelcal HD and A to Z daily. Could this indicate any inflammation or infection in my body? Is yellow mucus in the first spit normal?

Question 3

Hey, my lab reference range for vitamin B12 is 187 to 883 pg/ml, and my test result is 341 pg/ml. Is this considered normal, or do I have a B12 deficiency? I am 17 years old.

My blood report comment says I have hypochromia but my hemoglobin is normal. What is the reason behind it, is this serious or normal?

Hypochromia means pale RBCs, often due to early iron deficiency. Even with normal hemoglobin, iron stores may be low.
