Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 3rd Sept '24
With your platelets decreasing to only 9000, you need to act quickly. Your symptoms include a high fever, body pain, and bleeding. These could be caused by infections like dengue or typhoid. For treatment, you will undergo a platelet transfusion along with medications such as antibiotics. You’ll need to stay in the ICU so your condition can be monitored closely until your platelets increase. To help with your recovery, make sure to get plenty of sleep and eat healthy food.

Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

Are my blood test results normal for fatigue?
I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 29th Aug '24
Looking tired sometimes can have so many different explanations. The results of your blood screening can show some hints. In case your iron level turns out to be low, your body will be susceptible to fatigue. Having a diet rich in spinach and beans can help increase your iron level. Deficiency of sleep can be a reason for tiredness, too. Regularize the habit of going to bed early and having quality sleep. If the blood test results show any problems, your doctor can find you the appropriate remedy.

Harm of Adfill vs Peg Religrast Injection Comparison
is there any harm in using adfill injection instead of peg religrast injection?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 28th Aug '24
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.

You can drink milk while taking lamivudine and zidovudine. These medications don't interact with milk. But milk may upset your stomach or cause diarrhea. If milk bothers you, try lactose-free milk or drink less. Stay hydrated while taking these meds. Drink other beverages if milk upsets you. Contact your doctor if you have bad stomach pain or vomiting.

Few subcentimetric lymph nodes are noted in left axillary region
Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 26th Aug '24
When the small lymph nodes which are like little bumps show up in the armpit, they could be caused by infections such as a common cold or a cut on your arm. The nodes are part of your body's immune system and help to defend against viruses and bacteria. If the nodes are swelling or you have any discomfort, it would be a wise decision to see a doctor. They can provide suggestions for strengthening your body's resistance.

Why Do I Have Raynaud's Symptoms?
I'm an 18 year old female who thinks she may have Raynaud's? These are my symptoms. ### Raynaud’s Phenomenon: - **Fingers and Hands**: - Frequent color changes in response to cold, stress, or pressure: fingers turning white/yellow, blue/purple, and red during rewarming. - Numbness, pain, and stiffness, especially in cold water or when exposed to cold air. - Fingernails occasionally turn blue, particularly when nervous. - Fingers often go white under light pressure, but color returns after. - Red, painful, and numb fingers, especially when handling cold objects or after cold exposure. - Hands sometimes go pale/white in cold water, with visible blue veins. When they warm up it can feel tingly and intense heat and sometimes burning and uncomfortableness. - Ridges and a light white color underneath fingernails. - A small cut on your hand is taking longer than usual to heal. But cuts in general too. - **Feet and Toes**: - Feet often turn purple or blue when sitting still for long periods, especially without socks. - Numbness and coldness in feet, particularly when standing still or exposed to cold. - Toes sometimes appear weirdly purple/light blue/gray after cold exposure. - Difficulty standing and walking due to numbness and pain in feet, particularly in cold environments. - **General Cold Sensitivity**: - Need to wear multiple layers and use hot water bottles/heat packs to stay warm, especially at night or when sitting still. - Lips sometimes turn blue or darken when cold, especially during Raynaud’s attacks. - Occasional episodes of feeling cold despite being in a warm environment. - **Pain and Discomfort**: - Discomfort in hands and feet during cold exposure, sometimes making it difficult to perform tasks or move. ### Recent Observations: - **Improvement**: - Hands have been warmer than usual recently, with fewer Raynaud’s attacks. - **Persistent Issues**: - A cut on your hand that is slow to heal, potentially due to reduced blood circulation. - Ongoing need to protect hands and feet from cold to prevent Raynaud’s attacks.

It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

Uric acid crystals can be formed in the joints and cause inflammation and pain, particularly in the knee, and ankle joints. Zyloric tablets usually are prescribed to reduce uric acid levels but if they aren't working you may require a different treatment. Follow up with your doctor to find other ways to control your gout and alleviate your symptoms.

Platelet Count: Is 5.5 Lakh Normal?
My platelet count is 5.5 lakh so it is normal or not
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 21st Aug '24
A platelet count of 5.5 lakh is normal. These tiny cells help blood clot properly. Low platelets mean bruising easily, bleeding too much, and cuts won't stop bleeding. High platelets might signal infection, inflammation, or medical issues. So, regular check-ups with your doctor monitor those platelet levels. Your number looks good now. But definitely double-check with a doctor.

Is my uric acid level of 5.9 acceptable?
My uric acid test report 5.9 please tell me ok not ok
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 20th Aug '24
The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

Can I Safely Take Astyfer-Z for Low Iron?
I have tested my iron deficiency today and it was low so can i take "Astyfer-Z hematinic with amino acids vitamins and zinc liquid syrup" Which my father bought from a medical store and asked to take 10ml per day , is it okey to take it
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 20th Aug '24
Iron deficiency can cause you to have low energy, feel weak, and may lead to malfunctioning of the human body. This is due to the insufficient intake of iron-rich foods and blood loss. Aspyfer-Z syrup boosts iron levels in your body and contains iron, amino acids, B-group vitamins, and zinc. It can be done under the supervision of your father but ensure you get a follow-up guide from a doctor.
