What Are the Best Medicines for Microfilaria at 52?

I am 52 years old and after I received my blood test report it's microfilaria positive..would you please suggest few medicines?

1 Answer

Answered on 18th Nov '24

Microfilaria are the tiny worms that transmit malaria by mosquito bites. Often, the signs of sickness are fever, skin itching, and fatigue. Skin itching, fever, and fatigue are some of the most common signs of the disease. The primary medicine used for the treatment of microfilaria is the drug diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin. These drugs aid the body's worm destruction. However, I strongly advise you to consult a hematologist about the exact dosage and duration of treatment.

We have done routine test and in that asylum serum is increased at 142. Is it something to worry about

Male | 44

Albumin serum le­vels tell if your body is balanced. Incre­ased albumin can occur from dehydration, high-protein intake­, or medications. You likely won't notice change­s. Drink more water and eat balance­d meals to help. Discuss concerns with your he­althcare provider if nee­ded.

I had an I pill last month and my blood tests today are High platelet counts Wbc count -7.95 Gran %-76.5 Platelets -141 PDW-SD-19.7 What does this mean

Female | 19

Your blood test shows some changes. A high platelet level might indicate swelling or infection. With a WBC count of 7.95, your body's defense system is active. The Gran% tells about certain white blood cells, which increase when there's an infection. Your platelet count of 141 is normal, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. It seems your body might be fighting off an illness, so it's wise to discuss these results with your doctor for further advice.

Muje fever he kabhi aata he kabhi thik ho jata he kabhi kabar bahot thand chadh jati he throat me bhi infection he mcv count is decreased and mchc count is increased and tlc is increased

Male | 24

A feve­r that comes and goes could be an infection. The chills, sore throat, and blood te­st results support this too. Your MCV was low, MCHC high, and TLC raised - signs something's not right. Don't worry though, infe­ctions are common and treatable. But you must re­st up, drink lots of liquids, and eat nutritious meals. See­ a doctor soon as antibiotics might be neede­d to help you heal faster.

What is the treatment for glomus tumor??

Female | 44

A glomus tumor is a small, usually non-dangerous growth that causes discomfort and sensitivity, often in the fingers. These abnormal masses develop from cells growing excessively in the glomus body, a tiny structure that helps regulate body temperature. Treatment typically involves surgically removing the tumor, which should relieve symptoms and prevent them from returning.

I am having red mucus in colour, please consult a doctor

Female | 21

Red mucus is often a sign of bleeding in certain areas of your body, such as the nose, throat, or stomach. If it’s coming from your mouth, it could be related to a lung issue. This might be caused by an infection, irritation, or a more serious condition like pneumonia. It's important to see a doctor for an evaluation. They may run tests such as blood work, X-rays, or a bronchoscopy to identify the cause. Treatment for the bleeding will depend on its source, so it's best to get checked as soon as possible.

Your noseble­ed yesterday like­ly irritated. Dry air and nose picking often trigge­r nosebleeds. The­ discomfort today might stem from that irritation. Using a humidifier adds moisture, which can he­lp. Avoid picking your nose too. If issues persist, consult a doctor.

At what lowest cd 19 levels rituximab can be given.mine is52. Diagnosed with mctd with mg can I go-ahead with rituximab dose.

Female | 55

Your CD19 level is 52, and you're dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Typically, Rituximab is considered when CD19 levels are 20 or lower. Symptoms of MCTD and MG include joint pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Rituximab may help by targeting specific immune cells. It's best to discuss with your doctor to see if it's right for you.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?

Male | 22

To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

I am having swollen lymph nodes in my neck since two years I have done fnac and biopsy both comes with result reactive lyphadenopathy....is it Cancer????

Female | 23

Reactive lymphadenopathy means the lymph nodes are responding to something which is not necessarily cancer. This can be caused by infections such as colds. Skin conditions can also cause them. Your doctor might want to keep an eye on them for a while or do more tests to be sure. Changes are always best recorded and communicated with a healthcare provider.

D.yasmin age -24 wait- 37kg Rituximab injection 500mg 75ml 1st treatment 5 dialysis complete and 1st injection complete. 2nd Rituximab injection balence so help me sir

Female | 24

The injection of rituximab that you are receiving is the main medicine for your treatment. Since you have already had your first injection and dialysis, it is now time for the second shot. This injection acts on your disease by targeting some cells that might be at fault. Follow your doctor's orders in the letter. If you have any worries or see new symptoms, don't be afraid to contact your doctor.

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?

Female | 34

A sharp obje­ct with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little­ bleeding decre­ases the likelihood e­ven more. The risk is e­xtremely low! Howeve­r, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, e­xhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything se­ems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

What is aids Can you explain how hiv falls in anyone

Male | 20

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles.  Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.
