Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I have gone through your query and reports and understand your concern.
First of all, your globulin level is 2.5 and it is not in a low range. The reference range provided in your report is debatable, however we generally assume that a level in range of 2.5-4.0 is considered normal. In that case, your level falls in the low normal range. Hence, I think no medicine should be required. You can just take diet rich in protein like egg, meat, sea fish etc and your level will come back to mid normal level. Avoid alcohol, smoking; at least restrict as much as possible.
Your albumin globulin ratio is also in the normal range.
Hence I do not think that you need to worry right now. Just follow as advised, and get a repeat test done after 2 months.

Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
