Additionally, I have been taking Pan D capsule for the past year on an empty stomach in the morning. My hemoglobin is gradually decreasing. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the drop in hemoglobin, and what further tests or treatment I may need?

Symptoms suggest possible gut dysbiosis or IBS. Consider stool test, B12, iron profile. Long term Pan D use may affect absorption.

She was diagnosed with typhoid on September 1, and although her blood reports now confirm that the typhoid has been cured, she is still experiencing abdominal pain. Despite taking gastric medication, the pain continues. Please advise on what could be causing this ongoing discomfort and what further steps or tests should be considered.

My son is passing stools three times a day, two times normally and once in very small quantity. The doctor suggested a stool test. The results of stool tests are attached. After the first test, Walamycin was prescribed for 5 days. I gave it for 3 days and stopped because his stools became normal. However, in the retest, I see pus cells again in his stool. Please suggest what should be done next.
