Two months ago, I had a blood test, and my hemoglobin was 6. My doctor prescribed Livogen and Ultrafeolic tablets, which I have been taking for 2 months. My hemoglobin has now improved to 10, but my heels are cracking and very painful. I have tried creams like crack cream, white petroleum jelly, and Vaseline, but nothing helps. Why is this happening, and what can I do to treat it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heels may crack due to anemia recovery, dryness, or vitamin deficiency. Apply urea based creams at night. Take Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Zinc tests.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a VITAMIN B12 Test or Take a 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D (D2+D3) Test

View allI am experiencing dryness and tingling sensations in my palms and feet, which sometimes itch. I also feel tingling in my hands while sleeping and notice some liquid dripping from my fingers. My nerve conduction test report came back normal, but I have vitamin D deficiency. Please suggest what additional tests I should undergo to identify the exact cause of these symptoms, along with any treatment recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I recovered from COVID 19 on 20th April and was treated with Fabiflu and Deflazacort tapering dose for 9 days along with blood thinners for 15 days. My blood report on 18th May showed SGPT at 153 and SGOT at 59. A follow up report on 18th June shows SGPT at 90 and SGOT at 55. I currently do not have any symptoms except mild burning and tingling sensations in my feet and legs. How long it usually takes for these liver enzyme levels to return to normal?
