My mom's hemoglobin is at 5.9. Is that critical? Should we think about admitting her to the hospital today, or is it safe to wait until Monday? I'm really worried and unsure what to do.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A hemoglobin level of 5.9 is quite low and could be critical, especially if your mother is showing symptoms like weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It's important to seek immediate medical attention, ideally today, to avoid complications, as this may require urgent intervention.

I've also noticed some rashes appearing on my palms. Could you advise me on how I could increase my platelet count and if there's any medication I should consider?
The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week . - *Open Cholecystectomy*: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder.
