Question 1

I discovered a blood-red worm in my stool and I'm feeling quite worried about it. I'm currently anemic and taking iron syrup as prescribed, but I'm not on any other medication. Could the worm be related to my anemia or the iron syrup? What steps should I take to address this?

Accepted Answer

Based on your blood report, here are some observations:

_Low White Blood Cell (WBC) Count_

1. _Leucopenia_: Your total WBC count is low (3.83), which can indicate a weakened immune system.
2. _Neutropenia_: Your neutrophil percentage (34.9%) and absolute count (1.34) are low, which can increase the risk of infections.

_Other Observations_

1. _Lymphocytosis_: Your lymphocyte percentage (56.7%) is elevated, which can indicate a viral or bacterial infection.
2. _Anemia_: Your RBC count (5.57) is high, but your MCV, MCH, and MCHC values indicate microcytic anemia.

_Typhoid Possibility_

1. _Fever and throat symptoms_: Your recent fever and persistent throat mucus could be indicative of a bacterial infection like typhoid.
2. _Blood report_: While your blood report doesn't conclusively diagnose typhoid, the low WBC count, neutropenia, and lymphocytosis could be consistent with a typhoid infection.

Question 2

I've been having slight chest pain on both sides for about a month, along with flank pain, and now abdominal pain on both sides for 56 days. My ultrasound showed acalculous cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and a 3mm kidney stone on the right side. Endoscopy revealed gastritis too. Is there any way to treat cholecystitis without stones? I really don't want to go through surgery.
