I have been on various DMARDs over the past few years. Initially, I took HCQS 400 for about one year, then Mexate 10 to 20 mg weekly for nearly another year, followed by Folitrax 20 mg weekly for one year. Currently, I am on Rumalef 10 mg daily. Could you please suggest which medicines might be best suited for me now? My recent test report shows, GMS is nil, Stc is 0, TTC is 14, PEI is 334, SGOT/SGPT is 26/34, and CRP is 503.

CRP 503 is very high, indicating active inflammation. You may need re evaluation by a rheumatologist. Biologic DMARDs (e.g. Etanercept, Adalimumab) may be considered.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test

I went to a GP on the first day itself, and he prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. However, some symptoms like ear pain, headache, yellowish mucus, and upper jaw pain are still present even after completing the medicine. My initial symptoms were high fever, blood in mucus from nose and mouth, yellowish mucus, sore throat, one-sided ear and headache, and upper jaw pain. X ray report: Both maxillary sinuses are hazy Blood report: Monocytes: 1 percent MCH: 26.6 pg SGPT: 49 U/L CRP Tubilatex: 2.4 (All other parameters are normal) Please tell me what to do next and what these results mean?

I had a fever, took medicine, and recovered. However, I got fever again after 8 days (102F). I consulted a doctor who prescribed medication, but my fever persists around 100 to 101F. I underwent several tests: Typhidot IgM: Negative Blood culture: Negative CBC: Normal The doctor prescribed Taxim O and Calpol 500, and the fever subsided for 3 days but then returned to the same temperature. I switched to another doctor who ran further tests: Thyroid (T3, T4, TSH): Normal C reactive protein: Positive (43 mg/L) Liver function tests: Total bilirubin 1.5 mg/dL, Direct bilirubin 0.23 mg/dL, ALT/SGPT 79 IU/L Currently, when I take paracetamol, the fever reduces temporarily, but it returns after 5 to 6 hours. What could be the cause of this persistent low grade fever, and what should be the next steps?
