My father recovered from COVID about 45 days ago. He was hospitalized from April 9th to 16th. In his recent blood report, the CD4/CD8 ratio appears to be low. Could you please help me understand what this means.

A low CD4/CD8 ratio can be seen after COVID 19 and may take time to normalise. If there are no symptoms and he is recovering well, this usually is not a concern. Just keep monitoring.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Immune Deficiency Panel - I, (CD4, CD8) Test

Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?
