My mom is scheduled for knee replacement surgery on Feb 15 at AIIMS and is currently on Folitrax 10mg weekly. Her recent blood report showed platelets around 105,000 could the Folitrax be causing this drop since she took it before the test? Her current meds are Thyronorm 62.5 empty stomach, Pantop D40 morning, Osteofos70 weekly, Uprise 60k weekly, Folitrax weekly, folic acid at night, Shelcal 500mg night, and Etoshine90 night. Should we be concerned about her platelet levels before surgery?

I'm really worried about my sister because her ESR blood count is higher than normal, it's 70. She's 36 and also dealing with a lot of itching. What do you think she should do? Could you help us figure this out?

Your sister's elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) along with itching can indicate inflammation or infection in her body. It is important for her to consult a doctor for further evaluation and proper diagnosis. In the meantime, she can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, she can use a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas. Make sure she stays hydrated and avoids scratching to prevent any skin damage.
