Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I want to assure you that you do not need to worry, as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment are followed. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can understand your genuine health concerns.

The probable causes:

  1. You have low iron, but the deficiency can be corrected through diet.
  2. There is an increased white blood cell count, which indicates an infection.
  3. Deranged liver enzymes may be due to hepatic disease, viral hepatitis, or alcohol intake. Body weakness and fever along with raised hepatic enzymes give suspicion of liver disease.

Investigations to be done:

  1. HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen).
  2. Anti-HCV (anti-hepatitis C virus).
  3. Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels.
  4. CBC (complete blood count) with ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
  5. Complete urinalysis.
  6. Complete abdominal ultrasound.

Treatment plan:

  1. Take green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and cabbage.
  2. Follow a diet that includes carrot, cucumber, kiwi, avocado, fresh pineapple, and fish.
  3. Drink plenty of coconut water, which may help your condition.
  4. Take almonds, walnuts, cashews, nuts, and beans.
  5. Add Citrucel (Methylcellulose) dietary fibre supplement.

Preventive measures:

Drink plenty of fluids and avoid spicy, fast, and fried foods.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
