What can I feed my wife to increase hemoglobin levels?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Low hemoglobin is either due to blood loss or to the body not producing enough blood, which can be caused by various factors, including bone marrow disorders. So, it is better to get her PBS (peripheral blood smear) done. Meanwhile, for diet and supplements, give her apples, pomegranates, beetroot, green leafy vegetables, and the Autrin tablet (Iron, Folic acid, Vitamin B12) once daily.

I have painful urination and mild lower pelvic pain. Is it UTI?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on the history given by you it does look like that you are suffering from UTI though you might need a urine examination to confirm it. However, based on the clinical suspicion take tablet Zenoflox (Cefixime, Ofloxacin) one tablet BD (twice daily) for seven days along with syrup Urikind KM6 (Flavoxate hydrochloride) 15ml twice or thrice, if severe symptoms, mixed with little water as the syrup is a bit bitter in taste. Drink plenty of fluids and cranberry juice. In case of fever, take Dolo 500 (Paracetamol) SOS.
