Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?

This combo is correct for controlling bleeding. Dose: Tranexamic Acid 500 mg TID + Mefenamic Acid 250 mg TID for 3 to 5 days. Do not exceed without gynecologist supervision.

One year ago, my tuberculosis (TB) report was positive, and I also had problems with my periods. I continued Ayurvedic treatment, and my report later became negative. But now, my report is positive again, and my ultrasound shows Kochs abdomen. My periods have not improved, and I have pain on my left side along with a lymph node in my armpit. Please advise.

Today my wife 12 week blood report has come. All values are within the normal range except the WBC count, which is slightly higher than the standard range. The normal range is 4000 to 11000 and her result is 12800. Is this normal?

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.
