I'm going through a rough patch right nowI have typhoid, and my monocytes count is showing up as zero. Should I be worried about this? Is there something serious going on? And if it is, what kind of medications should I be considering to address it? Also, I'm curious about what foods might help in boosting my monocytes count. Are there any specific tests I should get done? I'd really appreciate a quick replyI'm getting quite anxious about the whole situation.

Having a zero monocyte count can be a concerning finding, as monocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. In the context of typhoid fever, a zero monocyte count may indicate severe infection or bone marrow suppression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit puzzled about something. My Alkaline phosphatase level came back at 135. I've never had alcohol and I'm not experiencing any digestive or stomach problems. Is this level something I should be concerned about, or is it considered normal?

In summary, 135 IUL is not necessarily abnormal, but it's worth monitoring in consultation with your healthcare provider if you have any other symptoms or health concerns

I've been dealing with a sore throat and a mild cold for a couple of days now and thought I should take Cheston Cold Total, which seemed to help a bit. But it's been over two days, and I'm still not feeling 100%. Is there anything else I should consider taking or doing to feel better? Any advice would be appreciated.
