Question 1

I'm dealing with some serious pain and I got my CBC report back yesterday showing increased TLC or ESR levels. The local doctor mentioned it's causing these boils (funsi foda), but the stuff I got from them isnt helping, and the pain is just too much to handle. Can you please guide me on how to tackle this issue?

Accepted Answer

The combination of elevated TLC and ESR suggests inflammation or infection, and the pain could be related to that. It's important to continue following up with your healthcare provider and communicate the severity of the pain. If needed, a second opinion from a specialist might be necessary for a more thorough diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

For jock itch with red rash patches and itching in the crotch area, consider over-the-counter (OTC) medications like Clotrimazole (Lotrimin), Miconazole (Micatin), or Terbinafine (Lamisil)

Question 3

My son's nails haven't been growing at all, in both his hands and feet, for the past five years. I'm really concerned about what kind of problems this could cause. Is there any treatment that could help his nails start growing again?
