- Sir/Madam, good evening. I have been suffering from digestion problems for the last 40 days. On 10th April, I had fever along with 12 times loose motion, but I got relief after taking paracetamol. My body temperature stayed around 99.4 during the day and returned to normal in the morning and evening for the next 3 days. I took Augmentine 625 thrice a day and Hatric 3 twice a day for 2 days, after which I developed severe acidity problems. My doctor then prescribed me Pentoz DSR and Melzap MD for 7 days, but when symptoms continued, he changed my medicines to Pantoprazole DSR and Normaxin RT for 10 days, which gave me around 30 percent relief. Currently, I am taking Erojole DSR and Udinol 300 twice a day, and this has improved my condition up to 70 percent, reducing acidity, heaviness in the chest, and pain. I am attaching my LFT test and Widal test report. Could you please suggest what the reports indicate and guide me further based on my condition?
- Respected Doctor, I have been experiencing gas and indigestion for the past two months, sometimes accompanied by nausea. I also notice white mucus in my stool, along with brain fog and anxiety. My recent blood tests show
Hemoglobin is 11.9 (RBC count 4.31, previously 12.5 in October 2021 and 15 in August 2020
WBC count is 9800 (Neutrophils 59 percent, Lymphocytes 34 percent, Eosinophils 4 percent, Monocytes 3 percent)
RDW is 16.3
Liver function tests are SGPT 28.2, SGOT 28, Bilirubin Direct 0.12, Indirect 0.2, Alkaline Phosphatase 88
I also have hypertension and am taking CTD T 6.25/40 in the morning and Met XL 25 at night. Additionally, I have been taking Pan D capsule for the past year on an empty stomach in the morning. My hemoglobin is gradually decreasing. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and the drop in hemoglobin, and what further tests or treatment I may need?
- I have been dealing with stomach discomfort and indigestion for several months, which started after a course of antibiotics and painkillers in August. Since then, I have been experiencing nausea, indigestion, and smelly gas. A few months ago, a USG of the abdomen showed a gallbladder polyp of 2.8 mm, but I am not sure if my current issues are related to that. I am worried about stomach cancer, and this anxiety is affecting me mentally. I also lose weight easily despite going to the gym regularly for weight training (no cardio). My LFT, urine, stool, and CBC were normal. I was low on Vitamin D, so I am taking supplements weekly. I feel like every day a new problem arises, which increases my anxiety. I am mentally stressed due to my physical health issues. I want to know how to restore my gut health and feel normal again. I feel that these problems started after taking Covaxin, and it has left me very anxious. What should I do?
- I was using whey protein, which did not suit me and caused loose stools and two bowel movements per day. I continued using it, thinking my body would adjust, and took it for one month with milk, water, and curd. As a result, I started getting black loose stools. A stool test showed +fiber, +undigested food, and negative for mucus, blood, and infection. I stopped the whey protein and switched back to a normal diet, but the condition did not improve. It has been almost seven months, and now I am getting yellow loose stools. Sometimes the stool is normal, but other times it starts hard and ends loose. Doctors have told me that I have weak intestines. I have also lost weight; previously I weighed 63 kg, and now I weigh 58 kg.
- I have small lymph node enlargement all over my body, mostly near both ears (front and back), both sides of the neck under jaw, both armpits, and inguinal region for more than 1.75 years? I visited many doctors, including CMC Vellore in the hematology department? They told me blood work is normal, and since the lymph nodes are small, they cannot perform FNAC? My blood report and USG of the whole abdomen are normal? They said to come back only if the size increases; otherwise, nothing to worry? They also referred me to surgery and infectious disease departments? Their opinion was almost the same: if size increases, then come?
I am living in confusion and do not understand what to do? My armpit lymph nodes are painful and lingering all the time? I visited many doctors in Kolkata, but there is no solution? Kindly suggest what I can do, as I can feel these lymph nodes and pain over certain areas like armpits, under jaw, and in front of ears? I am also diagnosed with retraction of ear drum?
- Post a Goa trip from 22nd to 27th June, I suffered from gas and acidity. Initially, my stool was formed but gassy and disintegrated in water. Within a week, the gassiness of stool increased along with belching and heartburn. I took a course of Metrogyl for 5 days as prescribed, but it did not help much. By now, the stool had become watery. On 17th July, I again visited the doctor who prescribed medicines for gas, acidity, and stomach ulcers. After this one week course, I started feeling acidity and gas along with belching, though less than in early July. As of today, 5th August, my stool is still pasty, narrow, and sometimes contains mucus. I am unable to clear my stomach completely and have to apply a lot of force to pass just a little pasty stool. There is always a feeling that stool is staying near my rectum. Gas and acidity are under control with banana, buttermilk, and easy to digest foods. Stool routine test is normal. What could this be?
- For the past two years, my lymphocyte count has been high, around 46 percent of my total WBC. Recently, I had another CBC test, and both my lymphocyte and WBC counts are coming down. About two years ago, I had a sexual exposure, after which I did multiple HIV antibody tests, including one 1.5 years later, all of which were negative. These tests were conducted at three different certified laboratories. Could my past high lymphocyte count be related to HIV? Is it possible that all my HIV test results were false negatives even after 18 months? I am feeling extremely anxious, am I free from HIV, or should I be concerned?
- Hi, I am 37 years old and have uric acid levels around 6.5 to 8 mg/dl with ups and downs. I generally take Zyloric 100 mg twice a day. My test reports are as follows: on 12th July 7 mg/dl, on 23rd July 6.01 mg/dl (while taking Zyloric 100 mg twice a day), and on 18th August 9.5 mg/dl. Creatinine is 1.01 mg/dl.
I have recently lost 12 kg in the last 50 days through diet and exercise. During the last two reports, I was on a keto diet with over 90 percent vegetarian food. I am confused about why my uric acid has risen. I consumed spinach, mushrooms, paneer, cauliflower, and other vegetables three times a week, along with flax seeds, chia seeds, and watermelon seeds. Some sources say spinach and mushrooms can raise uric acid, while others say they do not.
I am finding it difficult to control my uric acid without identifying the reason. Could you please guide me on how to control it and suggest remedies? Thank you.
- I have been noticing swelling in my left foot that increases during the day and stays until I go to bed. There is also mild swelling in my right foot. My height is 5 ft 5.5 inches, weight 67 kg, and I am not diabetic (HbA1c is 5). However, my uric acid level is high at 9.4. I consulted a doctor who prescribed Febustat 40, Uprise D3 60K, Supracal HD, and Neurobion Forte. I have been on these medicines for the past two days but have not seen any relief yet. I was also advised to consult a cardiologist. My BP is normal, and I do not have any discomfort otherwise. I walk briskly for an hour every morning, though I am mostly sedentary during the rest of the day. I have been following a Keto diet for almost a year, during which my diabetes reversed and I lost 21 kg rapidly, all within a few weeks. I am now maintaining my weight with the same diet. I would like to get advice from a Keto friendly doctor regarding my swelling issue.
- I have been undergoing treatment for jaundice for the past 1.5 months, but my bilirubin levels are increasing. My current results are: Total bilirubin 20.0, Direct 9.9, Indirect 10.1.

I am taking the following medications: Heptral once a day, Udiliv three times a day, Silybon syrup three times a day, Zevet two times a day, Pan D once a day, Atrax once a day. What should I do next?
- My uncle tested positive for COVID 19 eight days ago. Initially, he had a mild fever, but he recovered after taking the prescribed medications. However, during a follow up blood test yesterday, his D dimer, SGPT, and SGOT levels were elevated. The doctor prescribed blood thinning medication based on these results, but after starting the new medication, his condition seems to have worsened, his coughing has increased, and he is experiencing significant fatigue. We are unsure whether this is a side effect of the new medication or a sign of something more serious. I have attached the reports for reference.
- In general checkup my fasting blood sample report shows total RBC 6.61, MCHC 29.1 g per dl, RDW SD 49 fl, RDW CV 14.9 percent, platelet 150000, PCT 0.17 percent, BUN by SR. creatinine ratio 28.64, calcium 8.3 mg per dl, hs CRP 12.26 mg per L, vitamin D 21.93 ng per ml, vitamin B12 362 pg per ml, SGOT 71.7 u per l, protein 8.73 gm per dl, serum globulin 4.6 gm per dl, serum creatinine 0.66 mg per dl, triglycerides 161 mg per dl. Mainly I am concerned about hs CRP, SGOT, and platelet. Why are they abnormal and is it any danger? Please give me your advice.
- About 10 days ago, I tested positive for typhoid. However, I did not have a fever, my main symptoms were weakness, vomiting, and gastric issues. My Typhi Dot IgM was positive, and the titre was slightly elevated. I took Doxcef O for 10 days and also received the typhoid vaccine. Despite this, I still feel like vomiting after eating, and I am experiencing leg pain and overall weakness. This is the first time I have had typhoid, and someone mentioned that I might have become a chronic carrier, which has made me anxious. Is this a serious issue, or can it be fully cured? How long does recovery usually take? I have attached my report for your review.
- I received my blood test report. My cholesterol was high at 211, LDL was 153, HDL was 36, vitamin D was less than 10.5 (normal 75 to 110), and B12 was 320. I was given 60k vitamin D capsules weekly. After the third week, I started experiencing dizziness and discomfort on the right side of my abdomen. My liver and kidney panel were normal, but ALT was 71 (normal 30 to 65). My bowel movements are fine, but I have bloating most of the time, and my abdomen feels tight like a tyre, which is very uncomfortable. I am worried, but my physician said my liver and kidneys are fine and it may be just gas. He asked me to continue the vitamin D tablets and take an antacid in the morning. What should I do? Can I take magnesium supplements too, as I read that vitamin D requires magnesium? My right knee hurts a lot while coming down the stairs, and I also have muscle cramps. My major issue is lower abdomen bloating and dull pain below the lower ribs on the right side.
- Recent blood tests of my mother show some abnormal results, including RBC count of 5.22x1000000/microlitre, platelet count of 134x10000/microlitre (low), PDW of 14.7, fasting glucose of 114.5 mg/dL, ALT (SGPT) of 103.76 U/L (high), and AST (SGOT) of 50.73 U/L (high). She has been experiencing weakness in certain parts of her body, sweating on one side, and a feeling of inner restlessness. She is currently on medications for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol, but has not received a clear diagnosis. Could you please advise on the possible cause of her symptoms and abnormal lab results, the course of treatment, and which specialist doctor she should consult next?
