What Are the Best Medicines for Microfilaria at 52?
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.

Can I Use Preparation H with Atenolol Safely?
Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

Why Are My Hands Swollen and Painful?
You might be having the symptoms of a condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be a result of the nerve in your wrist being compressed, which in turn, leads to pain, swelling, and numbness in your hands. To help with the symptoms, you can try wearing a wrist splint at night, doing hand exercises, and taking breaks from activities that may worsen the pain. If the symptoms carry on for some time, it's best to seek further help from a hematologist.

What Do My WBC and Neutrophil Levels Indicate?
Your most recent blood test results show that your leukocyte count and various kinds of cells are slightly outside the range of normal. This might suggest that your body is still in the process of recovering from the urinary tract infection you had three months ago. The antibiotics you have been taking could influence these numbers, too. Ensure you drink enough water, consume a healthy diet, and observe any new symptoms that may arise.
