I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having a fever every week and then we just saw in her blood report that her hemoglobin is pretty low, like 7.7. Could you help me understand what's going on with her?

Recurrent fever and low hemoglobin (7.7%) in your wife's blood report suggest an underlying condition that requires medical attention; possible causes include iron deficiency anemia, chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancies; consult a general physician to conduct further investigations, such as iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate levels, and imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm a bit worried about my recent CBC screening results. My Hemoglobin is at 17.5, PCV is 53.2, and RBC is 6.1. Plus, my Vitamin B12 level is 1338, and Vitamin D is 36.58. About a month ago, my doctor gave me Bonicor Capsules and Neurobion Forte injections. I don't smoke and I make sure to drink 4 liters of water every day. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Could this be something serious?

"In your CBC screening results, your Hemoglobin level of 17.5, PCV of 53.2, and RBC count of 6.1 are slightly elevated, which could indicate conditions like polycythemia. Your Vitamin B12 level of 1338 is within normal range, and your Vitamin D level of 36.58 is slightly low. The medications you mentioned, Bonicor Capsules and Neurobion Forte injection, are commonly prescribed for conditions like anemia and vitamin deficiencies. Since you are a non-smoker and drink an adequate amount of water daily, your elevated blood counts may need further evaluation to rule out any underlying causes. I would recommend discussing these results with your doctor for further assessment and management."

My mom had HTO knee surgery on her left leg two weeks ago but keeps getting frequent fever, swelling, and pain. The doctors diagnosed her with DVT and are treating her with Enoxaparine sodium injections. There's slight improvement, but I'm not sure if this is the best treatment or if we should see another specialist. How long does it usually take to recover from DVT

DVT recovery takes weeks to months; continue enoxaparin and follow up with a vascular specialist.
