Suggest Remedy For E.coli Infection With Sore Throat
sir,my wife has e.coli and staph infection.Her hemoglobin falls to 7.5.oral ferrous ascorbate325 does not increase her hem.only a slight increase.she all along suffers from cough and cold and even sore throat.what to do? fever does not rise much upto 99
Oral iron tablets, no matter how many you take, do not increase the hemoglobin beyond 1 gm% in a month. Attention to a diet rich in iron in the form of dates, green leafy vegetables, eggs, fish and meat could help but more importantly she needs to be evaluated thoroughly for a problem either with her digestive processes or whether there is blood loss of any kind, as in stools. Regular warm saline gargles would help the sore throat but the frequent cold and cough could be due to lowered immunity caused by the low hemoglobin, and this must be first corrected.
