I got a complete body profile test and found that my hemoglobin and RBC are below average. Please tell me how to increase them. My serum triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol are above average; please tell me how to decrease them. My thyroid is under control because of medications, but if possible, can you tell me how to manage thyroid without medications? I have attached my report. Please give me your advice on how I can keep everything under control? Thank you.

Improve iron intake (leafy greens, supplements), avoid sugar/fried food for lipids. Thyroid control without meds is rare, continue monitoring.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test

As per my report, my ferritin levels are high, and my chest Xray shows inflammation. I have also used Remdesivir, but the inflammation is not reducing. How many days will it take to heal? I also have rashes all over my body and body weakness. Please advise.

I get frequent colds. As far as I know, a typical cold lasts up to seven days, but in my case, it lasts for many days. I have had this problem since childhood. I do not know why this happens. Should I go for a medical checkup, or is any test required?

My blood test report shows ESR 36 and monocytes 0. I do not have fever, chills, or burning urination, but I do have back pain. Is having 0 monocytes normal, and can it be harmful for my body?
