Question 1

I've been noticing some random bruises popping up on my thighs, mainly on the top or side, for over 6 months now. Any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

I've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

Question 3

I'm a little concerned about my haemoglobin levels. They're at 18.5, and they've been above 18 for over a year now. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it within a normal range? Would really appreciate some advice on this.

Accepted Answer

A hemoglobin level of 18.5 is higher than the normal range (13.5-17.5 gdL for adult males and 12-16 gdL for adult females), suggesting polycythemia, a condition that may be primary (bone marrow disorder) or secondary (response to chronic hypoxia, testosterone abuse, or other medical conditions); consult a hematologist to rule out underlying causes and discuss potential treatment options, such as phlebotomy or medication.

I've just gotten my blood test results back, and everything looks normal except for a high level of plateletcrit, sitting at 3.30 mLL. I don't have any other symptoms right now, but should I be concerned about this? What could it mean, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?
