Summary of Medical Question:

One time thin string of blood in phlegm

Posted by:

T

Just getting over flu (probably H1N1) and coughed hard this morning -- this thing came with a nice cough. Noticed a small stringy bit of bright red in the phlegm. Literally looked like a short small red string in the phlegm. I have never coughed up blood in phlegm before and was taken aback. What is this? As long as I don't have a recurrence, do I just shrug this off? Or, should I 100% make an appt? I had been feeling better yesterday and today and thought I was pretty much over the H1N1 other than a bit of a residual cough so I was thrown for a bit of a loop by it. If I hadn't spit in the sink, I wouldn't have even known. I had not been coughing up much phlegm at all while I was sick. I don't smoke and no known prior lung issues.

Summary of Medical Question:

Excess iron in liver

Posted by:

Jody Albright

I am male, 35 years old, athletic, dont smoke nor drink, have a few tattoos. Two years ago I begun to feel tired here and there, then one night got headache and next day came down with what I thought to be the flu, flu like symptoms, weak, fatigue, throwing up, high fever that was hard to break 103-104 degrees, so I thought I would slowly get better, well after a week of this my wife finaly talked me in to go to the e.r. when I got there they said yeah just a virus to go home and rest, they did no blood work on me that night, the very next morning I was Jaundice, so they took me back to hospital where I stayed bout a week, extremely weak that week, they said they werent for sure what happened to me to follow up with a liver specialist, well I have been tested for hep a b c d and all the others have so far always been negative, been to cancer doctor they said my blood was clean, have had hydroscan one so far several ct scans of liver and admonen have had tube down my throat to see stomach area they found nothing, and finally had a liver biospy, the finding was excess iron in my liver, highly suggestive of hemachromatosis, I seen a person that treats this disease as well as digagnoses it and both said they believed that i did not have this due to the fact after so long that my iron count in my blood is still normal but yet not in my liver. So still no answers not even a diagnoses on paper for me, I did read recently that just because your iron level in your blood is normal does still not mean that I might not have hemachromatosis, so they dont want to treat me because of my iron count in blood is normal, so I am looking for any and all answers to this. Can you help me on the right path to get help for something I dont even know what it is? Thanks for your time on this. Jody

Summary of Medical Question:

My son is urinating frequently

Posted by:

Neriza

My four year old son is urinating quite frequently lately. He only drinks about 1 to 2 glasses of water a day and going to the bathroom about 10 to 15 times a day and 2 to 3 times at night. I tested him with a home kit for UTI and it showed negative. What could be wrong, and what can I do to help him?

Answer by voluntary user(s)

he could have diabetes, type 1. please take him immediately to a clinic or casualty or a doctor. the test is pretty easy to interpret but he needs attention NOW.
the urination pattern you describe is typical of childhood diabetes, which must be minded soon.
