Suggest Remedy For Multiple Ailments
I am an 18 year old male. I have a list of symptoms which are bothering me. Since September, I have been
diagnosed with early stages of Appendicitis, mild Hepatomegaly, Gastritis, and
Granular Pharyngitis. Also I have noticed a few other symptoms like: Withe paste
that is located on top of my tongue, which could be thrush, my stool is clay
colored, and I currently am having a case of tonsillitis - with no fever. I am
afraid this could be an HIV infection, for I was involved in risky behavior a
few months ago, and also I'm afraid this could be Hep C. What else could this
mean?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and detailed history.
The fear of something serious as you have mentioned about the symptoms and the probable fear of having HIV and Hepatitis, the best way is ;
Get the blood, urine and IV and Hepatitis status done by relevant blood tests.
Throat swab for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.
Take a course of proper antibiotics and supportive medicines.
See the results.
I hope this will give us the best way for a proper diagnosis, investigations and treatment.
If the results of the tests are negative you do not have to worry about.
