Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 23-year-old female. My present symptoms are feeling weak and unable to walk or stand continuously for a few minutes. My Hb % is 9 and I am anemic. I also have a fever for one week and taking Oritaxim-O 200. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Looking at your complaints, your weakness is due to anemia. You have iron deficiency anemia after looking at your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and you need to take Iron supplements for three months.

I suggest tablet Bizfer-XT for three months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Regarding your fever, continue Oritaxim-O 200 (Cefixime) for five days and along with that I suggest Paracetamol. Other causes of fever like urinary tract infection and malarial fever should be ruled out if you have a persistent fever after five days.

The Probable causes

Nutritional deficiency.

Investigations to be done

Serum ferritin level.

Differential diagnosis

Malarial fever or UTI.

Treatment plan

Tablet Bizfer-XT for three months.

Regarding follow up
