This confirms iron deficiency anemia. Continue iron tablets with meals. If fever continues, rule out infection. Use antacids like rabeprazole if there is gastric irritation.

My daughter is 5 and a half years old and generally a healthy child. However, for the past 4 months, she has been experiencing a persistent dry cough. The doctor has given antibiotics, which help temporarily, but the cough returns once the medication is stopped. The doctor has advised a blood test. Please look into it and advise.

Please advise on the attached blood report and observations. Is this a serious infection? I have just started medicines for alopecia areata.

I took a Mankind abortion pill on April 2 and successfully terminated the pregnancy. However, since then, I have been experiencing heavy bleeding that has not stopped. My ultrasound, thyroid, and blood test reports are all normal, but the bleeding continues. I am very concerned about my health, especially because I want to have a baby in the future.
