Fever for such a long time can be worrying. The PET scan came back normal and this is fantastic news. The next step could be to revisit your doctor to explore other reasons for your fever.

I have test creatine Its having less than 0.4 please suggest me anything required
Female | Srilekha
It's good that creatinine levels are below 0.4. Creatinine is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your blood. If it's too high, it can mean your kidneys aren't working well. Low creatinine levels can happen if someone has less muscle mass or is malnourished. Make sure you have a balanced diet and avoid a diet high in protein, also, be careful so as not to get dehydrated.

I get attacks of thirst (dry mouth included), dizzy and unwell followed by feeling tired and a headache later in the day. This happens weekly (week n half most) used to be once a month or so. Previous bloods showed low folic, elevated bilirubin and b12 but no proper answers or directions.
Male | 38
You may be dehydrated, which can cause a dry mouth, dizziness, and tiredness. Low folic acid and high bilirubin levels might also be factors. Try drinking more water and eating leafy greens and citrus fruits for folic acid. If symptoms persist, see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Male | 30
RDW-CV is a measure of the variation in the size of red blood cells. An increase in RDW-CV can be a sign of anemia or nutritional deficiencies. Fatigue, weakness, and paleness may be among the symptoms. To tackle this, ensure a balanced diet that is rich in iron and nutrients. Further assessment by a doctor may be helpful.

Male | 31
If you have a morphology level of 3, it may mean that there is a slight imbalance in your body. This could lead to symptoms such as feeling tired and having difficulty concentrating. Some common reasons for this are an inadequate diet, lack of physical activity, or stress. You can address these issues by eating well-balanced meals regularly, engaging in regular physical exercise, and employing stress-relieving techniques like deep breathing or meditation.

I want to know , a chemotherapy patient takes 3 chemo then after 3 days later she has too much fever and pain in stomach. What should I do.
Female | 47
Fever and stomach pain are two of the most common causes of chemo. The fever may be due to the body's immune system being weaker after treatment. Stomach pain can be the result of medication cavitation in the digestive system. It is crucial to reach out to the medical team immediately for help with these symptoms. They may prescribe medicines to decrease the fever or stomach pain. Drinking plenty of water and sleeping will also help.

is there any harm in using adfill injection instead of peg religrast injection?
Female | 45
Adfill injection differs from Peg Religrast. After cancer therapy, doctors prescribe Peg Religrast to boost white blood cells. However, Adfill has a distinct purpose unrelated to increasing blood cell count. Taking medicines incorrectly risks harming your health. Your doctor knows best which medications serve your needs. Listen carefully to medical advice about proper usage.

Sir mera bilirubin lbl ,9.3 he or muja hb e disis ha
Male | 26
A bilirubin level of 9.3 is somewhat elevated. It might be an indication that your liver is not functioning properly. This could lead to jaundice, which is a condition wherein your skin and eyes become yellowish. High-bilirubin conditions may be caused by disorders of the liver or red blood cell problems. After treatment of the liver disease, which is the actual cause of high bilirubin levels, normal bilirubin levels could be achieved.

Male | 53
A swelling in your neck could come from different causes - not cancer alone. Infections or other issues might make it happen. Cancer wouldn't be the only reason for neck swelling. Along with a lump, fever, cough, and weight loss would occur if it were cancer. It's wise to let a doctor examine you thoroughly and pinpoint the trigger behind the swelling.

I had a sex contact and took Hive test on 25th Jan. Non-reactive (Feb-2) Next test (Feb-28) and LIST test (May-02) Non-reactive - now should I test?
Male | 32
A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

I am 18yrs old......my gender is female....I have so many dizziness and I was test my haemoglobin and it's is 18.6 is this high or low
Female | 18
A hemoglobin level of 18.6 is already a high value. This may be what is behind your dizziness. In addition, high hemoglobin can also result in headaches and red skin. It might be dehydration, lung diseases, or heart problems. To decrease hemoglobin levels, drink more water, refrain from smoking, and work out regularly. Iron-rich foods such as broccoli and beans can also help.

Male | 20
When you have infections, the lymph nodes in your groin tend to swell up. It could be that there is a simple infection or in some rare cases, something more serious. Since it is now more than a month and there is no pain, this shows positive progress. It would be wise however to see a doctor if they do not go away or you experience any other symptoms.
