Is 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol is normal
General Physician
Answered on 6th June '24
When you have 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol, that is okay. Cholesterol is like fat in your blood. If your cholesterol is high, there are usually no signs. An unhealthy diet, not doing enough exercise, and a family history can cause this condition. To stay healthy with it being normal eat well and exercise regularly also if necessary take some drugs from the doctor.

Doctor recommended me dexorange for anaemia how many times I should take it in a day and how
Female | 25
Dexorange treats anemia, a condition caused by a lack of red blood cells, leading to tiredness and weakness. It is often due to low iron levels. Take Dexorange once or twice daily after meals, as directed on the label. Regular use helps your body absorb iron and manage anemia effectively.

Male | 20
Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Is it normal to feel weak and loss of appetite after a week of getting treatment of Bilharzia.
Male | 34
After treatment for Bilharzia, feeling weak and losing appetite is common. Medicines used can cause these side effects. Weakness happens as the body fights infection. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods, despite no appetite. If symptoms worsen or persist, inform your healthcare provider.

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.

I'm a 20 year old male, with one swollen groin lymph node or so it feels that I've discovered about a month and a half ago, it was tender for about the first week but isn't anymore
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.

I have done health checkup for blood test ..need to know if everything is normal ..I feel fatigue sometimes
Male | 42
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.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?
Female | 22
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.

Male | 10
Based on the CBC report for your son, it reads that his red blood cell count is elevated. Sometimes, this leads to headaches. The other test results yield normal values, which is a positive thing! In my opinion, a doctor's consultation is necessary to delve more into the issue of an elevated RBC count and the occasional headaches, ensuring that the child receives proper treatment.

Female | 21
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.

Male | 24
You probably have bacteria making you sick. The blood tests found your white blood cells are low. However, your neutrophils, which fight infection, are high. In short, you have an infection. You need antibiotics from the doctor. Rest up. Drink fluids. Take medicine exactly as told. Listen to the doctor's instructions carefully.

Female | 45
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.
